2006 AIME II Problem 11

A sequence is defined as follows a_1=a_2=a_3=1, and, for all positive integers n, a_{n+3}=a_{n+2}+a_{n+1}+a_n. Given that a_{28}=6090307, a_{29}=11201821, and a_{30}=20603361, find the remainder when \sum^{28}_{k=1} a_k is divided by 1000.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
