My personal message:
Hi - Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!

I'm Bonnie, and on Saturday December 1, 2007 I ran my second marathon ever: The Reggae Marathon in Negril, Jamaica with a chip time of 6:02:06.

I wanted to do something special for the children in Jamaica for this run. I searched and found a great organization - Friends of Jamaica, USA, whose main mission is to help the children of Jamaica by supporting their health, education, and well being.

The incidence of poverty in Jamaica is declining.  However, almost one of every two Jamaicans who live in poverty is a child while only 37 percent of Jamaicans are children. (Source: UNICEF)

Donating through this site is simple, fast, totally secure - and of course, Friends of Jamaica, USA is a registered non-profit organization, so your contribution is tax-deductible.

We will continue accepting sponsorships until December 31, 2007. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

PS - In addition to your donation, you can also purchase commemorative Friends of Jamaica t-shirts, with all net proceeds going to FOJ/USA! Click here and wear it with pride!

You can watch a video of my training here.
