I did it!!!

Thank you so so much to everyone who donated and helped me reach my goal of raising $1,000 to fund autism research, and encouraged me to complete my first marathon! It was a great experience, and I couldn't have done it without you.

Many thanks,

Allison :)

Friends, Family, and Supporters:

Thank you so much for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page!  In case you didn't know, I am signed up to run the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon!

Those of you who know me personally know that I come from a long line of non-runners (and possibly even running-haters), making this event all the more challenging, miraculous, and exciting for me. I started running last year and baby-step by baby-step, I am proud to say I have reached a point where I am confident enough to participate in the once scary idea of a marathon.

My chosen charity is the Organization for Autism Research (OAR), a fantastic non-profit that raises awareness, funds research studies, and provides information for individuals diagnosed with autism.

Please help me reach my fundraising goal for this wonderful cause! Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. Thanks so much for your support -- I can't do this without you. Feel free to contact me with questions and please don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Hugs,

Allison :)
