Dear Friends,

For the fifth year in a row, I'm taking part in the 2008 Santa Speedo Run in downtown Boston to raise money for Cradles to Crayons, an organization which provides children across Massachusetts age 0-12 with the everyday essentials they need to feel safe and ready to learn. With the winter upon us and our country’s economy taking a turn for the worse, the need this year is greater than ever! Cradles to Crayons is predicting they will provide 10,000 coats to kids this winter. For more information about their programs please visit www.cradlestocrayons.org.

You can donate online with a credit card. Any little bit will help. All donations are secure and sent directly to Cradles to Crayons by Firstgiving, who will email you a printable record of your donation.

If you would like to join me on December 13th, details are on www.santaspeedorun.com. I would love to see friends at the event while I am in town - it is guaranteed to be a great time, for a great cause.

Happy Holidays, and please send my page on to anyone who might like to donate!
