Who Would Have Ever Guessed That This Girl Is Training For A 1/2 Marathon?

Surely not ME!!! I suppose my "I only run when being chased" phrase can now be thrown out of the window. I conquered the 5K and have joined a team for the Seacoast Half Marathon!! All Money Raised goes to the agency that I so proudly work for--Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS.)

At SASS I get to work alongside such strong and passionate women working to end sexual violence in our community. These women not only work at SASS, we all take part in fundraising through various avenues. As many of you know...I geared up and ran the Keeping Kids Safe 5K for SASS this past April. The support of the team and friends was fabulous. So many people came to cheer me on, supported me through the training as well as donated to my run. After that Treadmill accident it was all of you that kept me motivated to complete the run...only I would fall off a moving treadmill!!!

They say some people "Drink the Kool-Aid" and become runners...not sure if I have, or if I  just want to try to push myself even farther for this very important cause. Either way I have joined this team of dedicated people to train and run the Seacoast Half. I never thought I would say that!!!

So, please donate what you can, every little bit really helps. All of the money that the team raises will be going to the 'Safe Kids Strong Teens' education program provided by SASS and A Safe Place. Our Education team goes into schools in Strafford and Rockingham counties presenting the program to around 11,000 kids each year. This may sound like a lot; however, we know that there are 40,000 school age children in our area. The program teaches children about personal body safety, media literacy, gender stereotyping, consent, sexual assault and harassment.

Please know that Every Amount helps! Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. If you would rather mail me a check please make it payable to SASS and write my name in memo line and mail it to: SASS Attn: 1/2 Marathon 7 Junkins Ave Portsmouth, NH 03801.

Many thanks in advance for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Cheers,

Lindsey
