My personal message:

Please sponsor me online.

It's the most efficient way for me to raise funds for Bay State Games, a cause that's very important to me. Of course your donation is tax deductable.

Some of you may remember hearing me talk about my amazing experiences on the East Division’s Volleyball Team in the Nutmeg (Connecticut) State Games. Playing with some of the best athletes in Connecticut not only gave me the confidence to pursue a volleyball career in college but also taught me life long lessons in teamwork, goal-setting and perseverance.

Giving back to my community through Bay State Games ensures other athletes similar opportunities. It also encourages healthy lifestyles and offers another venue for personal development. For some high school athletes, this is an opportunity to win scholarships so that college becomes an option. And for others, it’s a different type of classroom – one where they can learn more about others and especially themselves.

Boston will be my 4th marathon! So why am I doing it? For me, a marathon reflects my life... there are highs and lows, places where I have to work a little harder (*Heart Break Hill* ~miles 18-21 of the course) and times when it becomes second nature. And it all comes down to the final stretch when I'm running down Boylston Street towards the finish line - during these last few minutes I will have celebrated the journey of perseverance, dedication, accomplishments, life, health, family and friendships! The Bay State Games provides the opportunity to explore many of these same qualities.

Both Bay State Games and myself really appreciate your donation. Any amount will make a difference!

Many thanks.
Beth
