Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for Central Park Conservancy, Inc.! I am thrilled to be a part of the Central Park Team that will be running the NYC ING Marathon on November 2nd, 2008.

The Central Park Conservancy is a private, not-for-profit organization that manages Central Park under a contract with the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. The Conservancy provides more than 85 percent of Central Park’s annual $27 million operating budget and is responsible for all basic care of the Park, including the maintenance of 58 miles of pedestrian pathways, 4.5 miles of bridle path, and 6.5 miles of Park drives on 843 acres of free and open space—an urban runner’s paradise!

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! This is my first marathon, wish me luck!

Thanks again!

Ashley
