I found my cause - but now I need help

Every New Year I make a list of resolutions. Some of them are the same but every now and again I'll add in something new. The thing about New Year's Resolutions is that I don't think anyone ever makes them with a plan in mind to actually accomplish them.

It's always a wish list :
  • This year I'm going to shape up, lose weight, GET BUFF
  • I'm going to get a better job, get promoted, tell my boss just how it's gonna be
  • Save money, travel (By the way - the 2 are practically impossible to do at the same time)
Of course I made all of the above... but like I said before - occasionally I'll add in something new. This year I vowed to run a marathon for a good cause and this is one resolution I am going to see through.

I have signed up with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training program. Over the next four months, I will be working with seasoned coaches and mentors and others like myself who want to do something great to raise money for blood cancer research and train for a marathon.

I have chosen to participate in the Rock n' Roll Marathon in San Diego scheduled for May 31st. I'm running in honor of 2 little local heroes Eli Crowley (age 4) and Zachary Moore. I have a lot of work ahead of me. Not only must I physically prepare myself but I'll also have to throw my shoulders back, hold my head up and campaign for funds during this time of economic hardship. My minimum goal for the event I have chosen is $4100 and I don't have much time.

I know it's possible ... but I will need help. If you read this and are able to Make a Donation please do so. If you are not able to, then please, at least pass this on to those who you think might be able to.

Blood cancer research is a very important cause. I appreciate you for taking the time to read this and possibly pass it on to those who might help me support this cause.

If you can, please Donate Here.
