I have talked about it long enough and it is pretty simple, either I do it or I don't.  This April 2012,  I am taking on the 26.2 mile challenge of the Boston Marathon.  I am not telling you it will be easy but it will be worth it.  

I am committed to training this winter through slush and snow and crossing the finish line on race day.  I am committed to The ALLY Foundation but I need your help.

The ALLY Foundation was establish in the memory and spirit of Alexandra Nicole Zapp, who was bruatlly murdered by a repeat sex offender on July 18th, 2002.  Alexandra, known by her friends as Ally, stopped at a public restroom on her way home from a charity fundraising event where she fought desperately for her life.  Ally's death was a heinous and horrible act of violence that was preventable.

The mission of The ALLY Foundation is to prevent opportunities for violent sex offenses, to educate and advocate for necessary changes in culture, attitude and policy.  We are driving a growing national movement towards better management of sex offenders as we continue to advocate for the most effective ways of reducing victimization in every community.

The generosity and support of my friends and family would mean so much to me!

All the best,

Jenn
