Emily Reedy's Fundnraising page

Hello again friends and family,

Thanks for visiting my new fundraising page for this years Chicago Marathon on October 10, 2010. Once again, I am training with TEAM RISE to raise funds that will build schools for the children of Angola Africa. 

My experience last year was so inspiring that I signed up the first day that marathon registration opened this year.  Our goal was to build one school and we raised enough to build two.  It is with much excitement to let you know that those schools are already up and functioning.

During the tough miles,18-26, my thoughts focused on the children of Angola who know suffering more than I will ever know, and of ALL OF YOU who joined me to help them. 

This year our goal is to build 3 schools.  We have more team members and I'm confident we will reach our goal.

Please consider, again, donating to this wonderful charity.  Your donation will make a direct impact on the life of a child and the future for many to come.

Thanks.

Together we can make a difference.

Emily
