Running... and I need your help!

You may remember a post a while back when I wrote about how I was going to train for the New York City Marathon and run in it with a group called Team for Kids. You may have wondered if I was really committed to that, and to be honest so did I. However, I just finished week 5 of an 18 week training schedule, and I am well on my way to be physically trained for this blasted marathon. I am a bit excited for it, however the long runs alone are not my favorite.

BUT, I write this to say, "I need your help!" Running for Team for Kids means I need to help raise money for Team for Kids. TFK works to establish running programs in schools in underserved communities across the country. The consequences of youth obesity are devastating and the problem is only getting worse. Help alleviate this issue with a donation to help establish these programs and get more kids physically active. If you are interested in more information check out the website at tfkworldwide.org

If you are interested in donating money to help me reach my $2500 goal please go to this link:
