The Boomer Esiason Foundation

ING NYC Marathon

Mike Norseth's Fundraising Page

Thank you for taking the time to visit my FirstGiving page and considering joining me in the fight against cystic fibrosis. 

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Don’t write a check you can’t (or don’t want to) cash?"  I think I did that when I got BOOMERANGED and agreed to participate in the NYC Marathon for TEAM BOOMER! 

Having talked a big game to Boomer Esiason about being willing to do whatever it takes to help him and the Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF) in their fight to find a cure for CF, it’s now time to back it up.  (Note, backing him up on the football field was much easier; I only had to pass out water and slap teammate’s asses. I kind of miss that!) I am joining more than 100 other athletes who are running the marathon for Team Boomer, a BEF program that makes a difference very day in the life of people with CF.

With all due respect to runners, I hate running and haven’t found a single redeeming thing about it yet while doing my training.  My dog, however, would disagree, as he has loved it.  For future reference, my idea of a good fundraiser would be 54 holes of golf at Augusta!

I would really appreciate your supporting me by donating to my “Healthy Kid Tax.” In doing so, you will help Boomer and his TEAM find a cure for CF, giving thousands of kids an opportunity for a lifetime of health.

Thank you again for your support.

Mike Norseth

p.s.  If I reach my fundraising goal, I will purchase a Breitling watch to raffle off to one of my lucky supporters.
