What a day it was!
Thank you all for your support, and for helping us raise over $8,000 for children’s cancer programs at MassGeneral!!
I'm running the 2010 Boston Marathon and need your support!
February 28, 2010 will soon be here. No, the BAA has not changed the date of the Boston Marathon, rather February 28 will mark two years since Liam completed his last cancer treatment for Rhabdomyosarcoma. On one hand, it seems so long ago, but on the other hand, memories and anxiety of those days can come flashing back in an instant.
I’m working on a list of 101 reasons why to run the Boston Marathon for the Mass General Marathon team, but most importantly, it is to give back to the institution that has taken such good care of Liam and our family.
The list has been started --> http://101reasonstorun.blogspot.com/
The funds raised by the Mass General Marathon Team support research into the causes of childhood cancer and help to initiate effective new treatments for young patients. So many of you have been there for us in the past, and I hope once again I can count on you to come through!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts. You can also mail a check payable to the Massachusetts General Hospital to my attention at: 35 Old Elm St, Mansfield, MA 02048
Many thanks for your support, and please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! I will be posting periodic updates on my training, and on my fundraising – so be sure to check back!!
THANK YOU!
Love, Meghan
PS: If you are interested in jumping in and running a few miles with me on April 19, let me know… so far Bridgett, Jackie, Marybeth and Marycate will be there with me at points along the way. I welcome the company on this 26.2 mile journey!!
PSS: Yes - Now that I hit my fundraising goal, I've increased the target!!! Thank you!
