On Saturday, a group of our Erie LP’ers took their grit and determination to the beach to beat the Final Beast on the Bay; a 10 mile, 30 obstacle course in terrain consisting of sand, mud, water and trails. The Beast on the Bay is an annual fundraiser organized by Barber National Institute to help children and adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral health challenges. Logistics Plus has been a sponsor for “The Beast” for several years and showed up each year with one of the largest teams…this year, their final year, was no different and we were the largest team… appropriately named The Final Mile!
These pictures truly capture LP’s culture and teamwork.

Almost done! One obstacle left..a walk through the wave pool. Then it’s the finish line!!
…and finished! Way to go Jonas and Suzie! Are they hungry or testing the medal?
Time for a recovery meal and Ice!
