My Fabulous Friends & Family,

So, no, this time I won't be running 26.2 miles (not until 10/10/10), BUT I will be running an 8K (4.97 miles).  I'm running in the Bank of America Shamrock Shuffle on March 21, 2010.  I also plan to run a half-marathon sometime at the end of May/Start of June probably also in Chicago, I'll keep you updated when I decide on that. So if you add those together--approx 18 miles (I'm slacking off, sorry!).  So this fundraising page will represent my efforts for both of those races. 

 

Just a little about what Team World Vision is all about:  World Vision works to tackle the root causes of poverty by working with children, families, and their communities to provide things like clean water, health care, nutritious food, education, and economic opportunities.  Especially with what has just gone down in Haiti, please please please don't just press "X" in your browser and ignore this.

So, I am asking you to PLEASE support my efforts through Team World Vision by making a one-time tax-deductible donation.  Any amount would be appreciated, even if its only $5, these small donations will add up to work WONDERS in places that are in desperate need.

Any friends who are currently reading this and thinking "Hey!  I want to run with Joy and help raise money for a GREAT cause," please let me know!  Its easy to set up a fundraising page, or I can just add you onto mine.  Thank you for spending time on my page, now CLICK DONATE!!!!!

xo,

Joy

P.S.  If you know of any half marathons going on during summer, please fill me in!  Also if I hit or surpass my fundraising target by March 20 (the day before the Shuffle), I'll run the race dressed as a Leprechaun.   SO DONATE!!
