Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

So, here's the deal...  I am not a runner.  I "ran" cross country in high school, and I was lousy at it.  I'm slow, and always have been.  And now, unlike high school, I'm much older, overweight, and fairly not in shape.  So, yes I am a bit insane to undertake a half marathon.  Thirteen miles is a long way.  Although, I haven't completely lost mind.  I am not going to attempt to run all 13 miles.  I'm lucky to run 1 mile.  I'm doing a run/walk combination for both training and the race day.  My goal is to be able to run 5 mins/walk 1 min over the 13 miles on race day.

I'm almost as bad of a salesman as I am a runner.  I felt guilty asking people to buy Girl Scout Cookies when I was a kid.  But here's the deal: this is for a good cause! And it's a good cause that means something to me (the niece of one of my best friends has Propionic Acidemia). That being said, I am now making my sales pitch.  Please sponsor me!  I don't expect a lot.  Any amount would be great!  Even if you can only spare 5 bucks, I will be very thankful.  And, it's tax deductable!  So, you can help a good cause and get something in return.  And if tax incentives aren't enough, you get the joy of thinking about me trying to complete the training and race day for a half marathon... that alone ought to be worth something! :-)

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.  You can also make a donation by check, made out to Propionic Acidemia Foundation.  If you get the check to me, I can get it sent in.  My page will be here until December, you can go to www.pafoundation.com, or you can still do a check after that date.

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