2010 Peter Ripmaster 50 States Marathon and Ultra Marathon Fundraising Page

In LOVING memory of Hillary Dobson Ripmaster

We Thank You For Your Support of Marathon For The Cure.

First and foremost, I'd like to thank everybody who donated in 2009. We raised $6,465.00 which goes directly to Breast Cancer Research! Although I don't plan on running 11 marathons (26.2 Miles) in 2010, I remain very focused on reaching my goal of running a marathon in each of the 50 United States by my 44th Birthday. I've also set a goal of raising $25,000 by time I cross the finish line of the 50th state! Thanks to your donations, i'm well on my way to reaching this goal. With this said, I want to ask for your continued support in 2010. Please know that I don't expect you to donate the same amount as you did in 2009. I simply ask you to donate, again, if you feel called. Whether you donate $10 or $1000 doesn't make a bit of difference to me. The bottom line is this: Every dollar you donate helps us get closer to finding a CURE FOR BREAST CANCER! I can't thank you enough for your dedication to this cause through my fundraising page. These are the races I have run, so far, in 2010: The First Light Marathon in Mobile, Alabama on January 10th, The 26.2 with Donna Marathon in Jacksonville Beach, FL on February 21st and The Little Rock Marathon in Little Rock, Arkansas on March 7th. I'm planning on running in The Kansas Marathon in Lawrence, Kansas on April 18th, The Providence Marathon in Providence, Rhode Island on May 2nd, The North Face Endurance Challenge 50 MILE RACE in Washington DC on June 5th, The Boulder Marathon in Boulder, Colorado on September 19th, The Portland Maine Marathon in Portland, ME on October 3rd and The Las Vegas Marathon in Las Vegas, NV in December. I'd love to run 3 or 4 more races in 2010 and am always open to suggestions! I appreciate your generosity! ****************************Marathons******************************* 1.

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.
In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Over the past 26 years, we have invested more than $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. And because millions of people are counting on us to fulfill our promise, we have pledged to invest an additional $2 billion by 2017.

Our promise is to end breast cancer forever. Will you join us?
