Running for Taylor..
The Cross Family
Hey guys, as many of you know I am training to run the Chicago Marathon on 10/10/2010. As part of this Brittany and I have decided to run for the organization UPs for Downs which is "a parent directed, non-profit organization offering support, education, and encouragement for parents, families and others who love and care about persons with Down syndrome." The reason I chose this particuliar organization is that my good friend and coworker Justin Cross recently became the proud parent of a baby girl; Taylor Constance Cross who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. I'm hoping that my running can increase awareness for this cause. Any and all donations would be fantastic but no one should feel any obligation to donate money. Thanks for your support, and hope to see you all at the beer tent afterwards! Just fyi.. UPS for DownS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and donations are tax deductible.
Total Donations Collected:$3,275.00
Goal: $3,000
$0 109% $3,000
Goal
Your donation will help provide a brighter future for individuals with Down Syndrome.

The funds raised by the UPS for DownS Endurance Teams will be used to support the UPS for DownS Katie MacDonald Literacy Project. Please take a few minutes to learn about the great work being done to support literacy in individuals with Down Syndrome by visiting our website at www.upsfordowns.org
