As many of you know, over the past several years, I have run in the Marine Corp Marathon. I feel truly blessed to have the energy and stamina to run again this year and, more importantly, to run for a worthy cause such as Running Strong. This is a goal that drives and gives meaning not only to me personally but to the lives of our Indian youth. The money raised through this effort gives real opportunities to Indian-led programs that build on the potential of their people.
If you donated in the past, I thank you for your support. With your generousity, I raised $12,000 over the years and have set a goal this campaign to surpass the $13,000 mark. If you are new and are still considering whether to give a gift, I encourage you to donate. Make a difference in Indian Country and give support to those American Indian families most in need. Donating to this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution my fundraising commitment to Running Strong.
Nya:weh for your support and friendship. I will take strength from all your well wishes, positive energy and enthusiam to get through the 26.2 miles ahead of me on October 31st.
With appreciation,
Natalie
