Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

My goal is to connect, collaborate with, and support diverse individuals and organizations promoting health, basic human rights and environmental sustainability.  The Southwest Florida Outreach Center and the House of Hope are programs addressing big problems in an area hit hard by our country's economic and housing crisis. Hunger, homelessness and emergency assistance are issues affecting southwest Florida more than ever before and these two programs are working hard to provide food, clothing, rent & utility assistance, and addiction recovery services to those most in need. If you would like to learn more about the programs you can visit their blog at:

Southwest Florida Outreach Center and the House of Hope are managed and supported by the Broadway Community Church located in Fort Myers, Fl.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. I am running (jogging) the Tampa Gasparilla Marathon on March 1, 2009 on behalf of the Outreach Center and House of Hope programs. If you would like to pledge an amount for each mile of the race-- 26.2 miles-- (gulp) or donate ANY amount to support these programs and their efforts to aid individuals and families in crisis, your assistance would be greatly appreciated! 

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
