I am very grateful for the opportunity to run. I now run because I can! I run for my health; and I run for those that cannot. When choosing races I look for events that support worthy causes. I've run for the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen, St. Jude's Research, Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, and Steps for Sight among others. I decide which races to tackle in part because of the state it is located in and in part because of the charities supported. My races have inspired me to continually expect and give more of myself. My races have also introduced me to an INCREDIBLE community who support a variety of charities. I have many new friends and together we are running for others and to inspire others. Running makes the run bigger than us as individuals – we can and are making a difference.
One of my good friends, George Melichar, is currently working towards a goal of making a difference in the lives of those with Leukemia and Lyphoma. George has set a fund raising goal, which if he meets it will allow him to complete the Rock N Roll Marathon in Madrid. He has currently raised $3,475.00 towards his goal; but must raise an additional $2,175.00 in order to participate in the race. If you are interested in assisting him reach his goal, please check out his fund raising page using the following link:
Every little bit helps! Thanks for considering this worthy cause!
