Our personal message:

How does one follow up his first marathon run, but to do it again this year, while UPPING THE ANTE? I'm asking you to help me Run Poverty out of Town again this year, with a twist added on. This year, I'm joined by my colleague Lian Carl from Grameen Foundation's Seattle office.

I'll be running the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC on Oct 26. She'll run the Chicago Marathon on Oct 12. You can click here to check out my colleague's Lian Carl's fundraising page.

So, is our dual participation a west coast/east coast thing, a male/female thing or other? YOU decide. Please make a gift today, then check back here for final run times and how much each team  we raised!
