HI Everyone,

I am SO EXCITED to tell you i am running the marathon again!!!!

This year I am running for an amazing charity that focuses on helping children learn to read. I think most of you know I am going to school to be a teacher -- so this is something that is important to me!

ReadBoston’s mission is to have all children in Boston reading at grade level by the time they finish the third grade.  This is so important because until the third grade a child learns to read, after the third grade, a child reads to learn.  ReadBoston focuses on achieving this mission by establishing programs that build literacy skills in schools, community centers and early childhood centers. 

I hope you will take a minute to donate money to this charity and support me in the 2006 Boston Marathon.  I am looking forward to the challenges over the next few months and i am very excited for April 17th!

If you have any questions or want to hear about my running progress, let me know! i would love to chat about it!

Thank you!

Love, Kara
