I'm running again — better and faster than I have in three years — and all to get back to the long stuff (I'll run "across" something in 2011). I'm starting with a sprint triathlon (my 40th triathlon ever, and my first in six years) at Treasure Island and then a week later running the San Francisco Half Marathon.

I'm running to help the Endurance Trust, founded by my favorite (and best) running partner, Matt Nelson, to help find a cure for pediatric brain tumors. All I'm asking for is $600 total, and I hope you'll consider helping.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
