Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
September 27, 2009 I ran the Bellingham Bay Marathon in 3 hours and 45 minutes, 2 minutes short of a Boston Qualifying time for my age group. The race was beautiful, friendly and the experience was as rewarding as it was challenging.
This year I am running The Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco on October 17th. My goal is to break 4 hours and to raise $5,000 for Bear Valley Music Festival, which would be a big step from the $2,800 I raised in 2009. The two week event provides a caliber of fine arts that is stunning, engaging, and is delivered in one of the most serene natural settings anywhere. As a life long resident of Bear Valley and with my paternal grandfather being a co-founder of the festival I am not only personally connected to the event but I am certain it resonates many fond memories for everyone who has stepped foot inside the tent. Further, it is a vital artery for the life of Bear Valley’s summer months. For more information about Bear Valley and the Bear Valley Music Festival please visit the San Francisco Chronicle’s article at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/06/18/TRVU1DPERT.DTL&type=travel
There is no donation amount too small. Any gesture is appreciated and carefully utilized. I suggest a donation of $1 per mile, $26.20 or $2 per mile =$52.40 or more if you have the means and ability. If each of you donated an average of $26.20 your donations would collectively launch my effort much closer to my goal. If you donated last year, I would encourage you to donate a little extra this year. If you didn’t donate last year I would greatly appreciate your involvement this year
For those of you who cannot donate, I understand and hope for better times. I still invite you to check out my training/fund-raising blog,
