Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! On October 19th, 2008 i will be running the IMT Des Moines Marathon. The charity I am running for is the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention. After suffering the loss of my sister in 2003, I picked up the tradition of running. Initially, I ran to maintain my health & sobriety and to be a stronger person for my family as we mourned. I never imagined that running would take me this far. Five years later, I remain sober & have just recently finished my 16th full marathon in Marathon, IA. GOD has blessed me with an amazing talent and I feel it is now time for me to use it for good & the sake of others. Friends, please join me on October 19th for the IMT Des Moines Marathon to support the AFSP and to celebrate the life of my sister, Darcy Jo Whitebreast Keahna. 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 don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Donations may also be sent to: AFSP c/o Dirk Whitebreast 120 Wall Street, 22nd Floor New York, NY 10005 Please make checks & money orders payable to the AFSP. Many thanks. Dirk Whitebreast is an enrolled member of the Meskwaki Nation & resides in Tama, Iowa.
