My personal message:

THANK YOU for visiting my fundraising page! On June 7, 2008 I will be participating in Village Northwest Unlimited's 3rd annual Run, Walk & Roll. In it's inaugural year, I ran the 5k & last year decided to try running my very first 10K. My goal this year is to, again, run the 10K but in better time (last year I barely made it in less than an hour!!)!

Village Northwest is a private, not-for-profit, interdenominational organization, serving adults with disabilities since 1976. At VNU, people with disabilities receive residential, vocational & employment opportunities through a wide variety of wonderful programs. I'm proud to say that my Mom has served on the VNU Board for several years and is currently the Board president. As a result Parker, Carter & I have had the opportunity to get very familiar with the programs, services, staff & residents at the VNU & have come to know it as a very special place.

My fundraising goal for this year's Run, Walk & Roll is $1,000.00. I would greatly appreciate any support you can offer for this very worthwhile cause. Funds raised will be used for programs & services which will enable VNU to continue providing quality services for those they serve.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. If you prefer to give your gift by check, use this link http://www.villagenorthwest.org/RWR%20Donor%20Form.pub.pdf to download a donation form. Mail the completed form along with your check made payable to Village Northwest Unlimited to the address provided or directly to me, whichever your prefer. A receipt will be sent to you by mail and I will be notified of your gift.

On behalf of my personal trainers (Parker & Carter), thank you, THANK YOU for your consideration and for your support of the VNU and my participation in the 3rd annual Run, Walk & Roll!!

Heidi
