Hey everyone... I am at it again. I am preparing for my 7th consecutive P.F. Chang's Rock 'N Roll Marathon. This time I am helping to raise money for the Phoenix Children's Hospital. I am doing all the work, all you have to do is send in your donation. Don't make me come door-to-door. I know where you all live.

The "Miracles in Motion" program at the PCH is a wonderful way to make a difference in someone's life. I have set a lofty goal, but I know with all the kind and generous people in my life, we can hit the target. All contributions are tax deductible and all proceeds will go directly to patient care.

I will be running to honor a patient at the hospital and will provide updates on him or her and my training. As well as any post-training festivities. Every marathon I do, I seem to learn something new. What I have learned already for this one is that this program is important and worthwhile. I will greatly appreciate any assistance you can give.

Through my school, I will be holding a couple bake sales, car wash and dodgeball tournament. So if you are near Chandler, please watch for those details and join in the fun.

Thanks again for your time, generosity and inspiration. Please check back in the coming day and weeks for more information and updates.

Thanks again for your support,

John Mahnke
