Team Poleon Race for Hope
Running to Breathe
Dad in Maui 2006
In December of 2006 my father, Robert Poleon was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. It is a lung disease of unknown origin. Although there are treatments, there is no cure at this time.

To raise awareness and funds for research, I am training to run my second marathon in October '09. In the meantime I am fitting in as many half marathons as I can. I am asking friends, family and corporate sponsors to donate money for each mile I run. Challenge me to do more for donations. Or simply donate an amount of your choosing.

Pennies, nickels, dimes and dollar bills will all make a difference. The funds you donate will go directly to The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation. Cash gifts are deductible from federal income tax up to 50% of your gross income, with a 5 year carry over. You will receive a receipt for your tax records. Check donations may be mailed to: Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation c/o Team Poleon 1332 North Halsted Street Suite 201 Chicago, Illinois 60622

This isn't just about awareness or money. It is about hope.

Thank you for your support!

I am excited to report I hit a personal best at the Buffalo Half Marathon beating my best time by over six minutes.

Looking forward to the Marine Corp Marathon in DC October 2009!
