My personal message:

IT'S TRUE...I am doing it! I am running the 1/2 marathon as I always said I would.  However, what makes this challenge SO incredibly special and so dear to my heart is that I am running in honor of an incredible charity that I work with, Horizons For Youth.

Horizons for Youth serves 108 kindergarten through eighth grade students in Chicago.  Each child in the program receives a need-based scholarship, one-on-one mentoring, and various enrichment programs.  It costs approximately $4000 to sponsor one child per year and our goal is to accept MORE than 108 children next year!

CAN YOU HELP US MAKE THIS A REALITY???

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!  I will send you a picture of me at the finish line!  LET’S DO IT FOR THE KIDS!
