My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. This will be my 3rd Boston marathon running for Mass Eye and Ear. During the past 2 years, I have raised a total of over $7000 to help them with their research and teaching of vision and hearing problems, as well as other afflictions of the head and neck. To find out more about where your tax-deductible donation is going, please visit www.meei.harvard.edu 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Also, if your employer has a matching gift policy, that is extremely helpful.

If you prefer to donate offline, please make checks out to: Foundation of MEEI, Inc and send them to: Alex Pierson 26 Bakers Hill Rd Weston MA 02493

Thank you to my offline donors: Chris, Megan and Letha; Mom & Dad; Sharon & Ted; Luke G & maax, inc; Mr. and Mrs. Lappin; Alene, Jeb, Jake & Luke; Mr. and Mrs. Price; Mr. and Mrs. Belason, Caroline.

2/12- training update: I am up to 18 miles for my long run. This will be my 5th marathon, and I want to beat my best of 3:37. I visited my sister and her boyfriend in CA 3 weeks ago and ran a 1/2 marathon there in 1:37, 8.5 minutes faster than last year. I will run 1 more 1/2, on 3/15, and then Boston on 4/20.
