Hello!  I am in the process of running 2000 miles this year in order to raise money to send Matthew Carpenter to the Special Olympics World games in Idaho in February '09! On December 29, I reached my goal!!!  You can either pledge an amount per mile or simply make a donation of your choice.  Anything is appreciated!

I had the pleasure of meeting Matthew recently.  He is very busy training year round for alpine skiing (for which he is going to the World Games), tennis, volleyball, basketball, golf, and bowling.  Matthew is also quite active volunteering, working and taking classes.  Below is a quick interview with Matthew.
