Run 5 To Keep The Kids Alive this weekend

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I will be running the Wolfson Children’s Hospital 5 mile run this weekend. The race is called Run 5 To Keep The Kids Alive. The race is part of the One To Grow On Ultramarathon celebration which features a 50 mile Ultramarathon event, a 5 mile run and a 1 mile fun run. The event is to celebrate the 40,000 children seen at Wolfson last year. They have a goal of lighting 40,000 candles this year. Please visit the website link below for more information. You can make a $10 donation to help light a candle.

I broke my previous 5K race PR today. I crossed the finish line in 25:11 strong. I will post some more comments later about the race. I need to get into the attic and check why our roof is leaking!

Race For The Cure

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support the Susan G. Komen North Florida Race for the Cure® on October 17, 2009 to fulfill their promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality of care for all and energizing science to find the cures. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime and the more we raise, the more the North Florida Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® can give back to fund vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community and support the national research program.

Please join me in the fight by pledging in support of my
participation in the Race or contributing generously to Susan G. Komen North Florida Affiliate. 75% of your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically uninsured and underinsured communities in North Florida. The remaining 25% supports the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® National Award and Research Grant Program.

It is easier than ever to support this great cause – you can make a donation online by simply clicking on this link. If you would prefer, you can also send your tax-deductible contribution to the address listed below. Whatever you can give will help! I truly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Thank you so much for your time and support in the fight against breast cancer! Every step counts!
