| Hey Everyone-
Thanks for checking out my Fundraising Page.
So as some of you may know i recently finsihed the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon...just i ran (and walked) 26.2 miles. This was the first time in my life that i ran. I have never participated in a 10k, half marathon or any type of running event...do fun run's in 3rd grade count?!!
There were many points while training i thought i would die and called many of you for support! I thank God i participated in this marathon because it made me appreciate being alive and healthy.
While running I saw a man on the side of the street holding a sign that said "Thank you from a 11 year cancer survivor" and i wanted to start crying.
After i finsihed i knew i had to run for a cause and after talking to my brother i choose the Susan Koman Foundation.
Greg's, my better half, grandmother died from breast cancer at a young age and one of my brother's professor is batteling it right now.
I know the economy sucks but if you can give up Starbuck's for one day and donate to this great cause i promise i will run my heart out! All donations are tax deductible and all the money i raise goes to the Foundation, not me.
Oh yeah i am going to finish in 2.5 hours ...it's only a half this time!!
Thanks again,
Melissa
P.s. you can donate via your credit or debit card |
