On January 22, 2009, I turned 60.  To celebrate my 60th birthday, I've set the goal to run 6 marathons in 2009 - that's 6 @ 60 in '09!

I did it!!!!!!!!!  All 6 are completed.  Thanks for all the support and encouraging words.

I did them all for my favorite charity - Evergreen Commons Senior Center - where the programs and services help older adults remain active, healthy and socially engaged, and helps them stay in their homes through assistance and support.  Check the services out at www.evergreencommons.org.

I'm still taking donations.  As you can see, I haven't quite reached my goal of $20,000.  So, please "Help Me Help Seniors" by making a contribution in honor of my marathons - 6 @ 60 in '09!

Consider these giving suggestions:

$26.20 = 26.2 miles per marathon

$157.20 = 6 marathons

$60.00 = My age

$100 = What can I say.....a nice round number

$500 = For all the marathon training miles

$________ = Your choice.....every $ helps

Here's where I'll be running:

February 15 Austin TX Marathon

April 20 Boston Marathon

June 6 Sunburst Marathon in South Bend IN

July 25 Grand Island Trail Marathon in Munising MI

September 27 Quad Cities Marathon in Moline IL

October 18 Grand Rapids MI Marathon
