Hey everyone,

Thanks for visiting my 2007 Boston Marathon & Thompson Island Outward Bound fund raising page. Over the next 5 months, I will be training for the 2007 Boston Marathon. As this is a great opportunity to spend time raising donations, I have chosen to run for a very important charity.  The Thompson Island Outward Bound program is a locally based (Boston, MA) charity that focuses on community and character development for young children. The program provides children of all socio-economic backgrounds the chance to participate in a week long challenging course that focuses on leadership, self awareness, and personal responsibility. No gift is too small and will be deductible this tax season. Donations of all sizes are welcomed with open arms and will unquestionably benefit the life of a young child. If you have any questions about the program or you would like to arrange donations in another fashion, please feel free to contact me at hicksonj@gmail.com.
