Dear family and friends,

Well that time has come again! The half marathon that I ran for the first time last year is almost here.  This of course is the race that started all of my running craziness. I am once again running on behalf of a Bell Center child. Please help me make a difference by helping me raise money to support the Bell Center. It is so important in the lives of little children like Emma who is pictured on my page. Emma was born with Cerebral Palsy and benefits greatly from early intervention services that she receives at the Bell Center. Emma and children like her are an inspiration to me. I am so lucky to get to work with these children. They greet every day and task with a smile. I think about this and it makes me slow down and try to do the same. I am so proud to be running for Emma. She works so hard, and I intend to work just as hard for her. In fact, she will walk with her walker along with all of her friends in the Bell Center kid's race the day before the marathon. I can't wait to cheer for her!

If each of you would consider donating $1 per mile...just $13...this would help me reach my goal.  I realize that this is a hard time to find money to donate. The economy has directly affected the Bell Center also because it relies solely on donations through fundraising. 

 Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
