Hi everyone!

Welcome to my fundraising page for the 2010 Boston Marathon!

I am running for Goodwill's Youth Programs because I recognize the importance of all the opportunities that were provided to me growing up. I was fortunate enough to be a member of several teams and groups that have shaped the person I am and helped me get to Northeastern University, where I was the captain of the women's soccer team and will graduate from with honors in May. 

If it wasn't for the programs available to me as a youth, I wouldn't be where I am today. The $3,000+ that I'm raising for Goodwill will support the academic, personal and professional development of the 600+ children from underserved communities throughout Massachusetts who participate in Goodwill's after school Mellon Academy for Girls and Fresh Air Camp. The money I raise will make a difference in the lives of young people who may not be as fortunate as I was.

Please make a donation to support my participation in this year's marathon and help advance Goodwill's mission. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.

Training for the race is the easy part. This past weekend, I completed a 20 mile run on the actual Boston Marathon course. I am working very hard, but I need your support to achieve my fundraising goal of $3,250!

Thank you so much! I hope to see you along the 26.2 mile route on April 19th!

Emilee
