Grant Uba, will show his support in a 50-mile Walk-a-Thon to benefit BGCLB.  His hike will start in San Onofre at 4:30am and will end at Gladstone’s at the Pike in Downtown Long Beach at approximately 8:30pm.

"Dr. Uba has been my doctor for 18 years and I have admired him as a professional as well as a man with a big heart who really cares about his patients and his community," stated Randy Gordon, president and CEO of the Long Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. "This walk is a testimony of giving to a worthy cause! I admire him so much!"
 
Please consider showing your support of his effort by sending a check to Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach, 3635 Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach, CA 90807 or going to the website.  Your entire tax deductible donation will support the Boys & Girls Clubs of Long Beach.

Without your coverage, I wouldn't know what Randy Gordon thought about the Boys and Girls Club Fundraiser. Thank you!

Dr. Uba is kind, generous and dedicated to helping children. I am so proud that he is my doctor also. Way to go Dr. Uba! You're the best. Hope your Achilles feels okay!

Needs update
But what about Randy Gordon? Did Dr. Uba completing his trek have any effect on Randy Gordon's opinion of Dr. Uba? Does Randy Gordon stil "admire him so much"? Or is it possible that Randy Gordon admires him even more than he did before (though that seems hard to believe).
