My personal message:

Earlier this year I set a goal of running my first marathon. I've been a casual runner for a number of years, but never had the desire to tackle 26.2. I've enjoyed the challenge of preparing for the Boston Marathon, and am grateful to the Neurofibromatosis organization in MA for allowing me to run on its behalf. NF is a horribly debilitating genetic disorder that currently has no cure. A group of runners will be joining me on April 20th to raise some money in support of NF research and awareness. I'm reaching out to family, friends, and business associates, asking that they consider a donation in support of my efforts.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to this fundraising effort. I thank you in advance for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
