Hi friends!

I am running my second Boston Marathon on April 20, 2009 to raise money for the Lowell Spinner Charities,

The Lowell Spinners Charities are involved in a variety of ways throughout our community of the Greater Merrimack Valley.Established in 1999, Lowell Spinner Charities are our way of quietly giving back to worthy causes in the Merrimack Valley community with little fanfare. Through many different avenues, the Spinners raise money to be dispersed throughout the Merrimack Valley for everything from scholarships to heath care. Funds are raised through the sale of special raffles,capitalizing on new ideas, donations made for special announcements in the park and much more. With the creation of Lowell Spinner Charities, the organization is able to focus on the smaller needs of our community, often overlooked, while keeping a low profile.

I am proud to be involved with such a great oranization. This is my second year in a row working with the Lowell Spinners to help raise awareness and donations to help their community efforts. The Spinners have done a great job in helping the communities around them and I am proud to be a part and very very appreciative of the support that I have been recieving from with all of my friends, family, colleagues and aquaintances that have helped show their support along the way. You are the real motivation behind my training and running. Thanks so much!
