Mario's San Diego Marathon Training & Donation Site
Pain for Gain - Running for a Cure
I've seen cancer and other diseases touch the lives of my loved ones and their loved ones. I cannot imagine having to witness something so tragic happen to somebody close to me.
I hope that with this effort of running 26.2 miles, I can affect for the better the outcome of someone in need.
Please consider donating what you can so that more research goes to a cure and the lives of our children, our brothers & sisters, our significant others and friends and family can be without such strife.
Your support in this effort is greatly appreciated. If I can do anything to thank you, please let me know.
Have a wonderful 2008,
- Mario
PS - I will update this site over the next 4 months as I build my endurance to complete the San Diego Rock & Roll Marathon on June 1, 2008. Please check back in.
