MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY

Boston Marathon 2007

Operation "Marathon Finished"

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.

I enjoy running tremendously and it becomes a hundred more fun when participating for such a great organization. I am sure you can think of a few people who have been afflicted with some type of  vision, hearing or balance problem: I know I can. As some of you may already know, I have a close family member who is fighting through a vision problem.  I am eager to raise funds and excited that my efforts can directly assist my loved one and those with similar conditions.

I am proud to say that I was able to complete the 2007 Boston Marathon under my goal of four hours. My official time was  3 hours 58 minutes 51 seconds. Although the weather on marathon day was a little less than desirable, the atmosphere was positive and exciting. My friends and loved ones were watching for me as I turned onto Boylston to cheer me on which made the finish one of the greatest moments of my life.

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

Best  Wishes,

Vince
