Today I received a letter confirming my membership on Team Red Cross in the Boston Marathon. I've known for a while, but now have additional information needed to begin fundraising (my goal is to raise at least $4000 for the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts). So at this time I would like you to please consider contributing to my efforts, and let me know. Send me an email with how much you would like to contribute and I will reply with instructions on how to donate.
Should you choose to contribute, your dollars will go toward providing a number of critical services in the eastern Massachusetts area. The ones that are particularly compelling for me are disaster response (one example: helping those affected by house fires), emergency food assistance through food pantries, and assistance to military members and families.
I am very excited about this project for number of reasons and hope you will be motivated to help me! It really boils down to achieving "big" (and worthwhile) things through good teamwork. Joining my friends Joe and Will in training this year resulted in me stretching far beyond my usual mileage and having a very rewarding first-ever half marathon race. Now I've decided to go for the whole thing, and to do it in the biggest of marathons, Boston! Now I look forward to joining a team of 15 runners, coaches, trainers and manager for Team Red Cross. I would like nothing more than to "blow the doors off" of both my running and fundraising goals - please help me make it happen!
Cheers, and I wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving!
