Hey everyone,

As many of you know on April 20th, 2009 I will be running the Boston Marathon.  I have the privelage of runnng for a great local youth organization called the Charlestown Lacrosse and Learning Center.  This center provides the foundation for building successful student athletes.

As a former student athlete this program seemed like the perfect fit.  While providing youngsters the opportunity to learn and play the great sport of lacrosse the center offers much more.  After school kids can receive one on one tutoring, homework help at any time, standardized test prep, healthy cooking classes and much more.  

When I had the opportunity to meet Bob Cutler the director of the Lacrosse and Learning Center during late January I found out that due to lack of indoor facilities Lacrosse is only offered to the HS Varsity squad during the winter.  You would never have known that was the case, as the Center was packed that Tuesday, with groups of students receiving help in math and reading.

With all these great services being offered free of charge please help me in supporting a top notch youth organization.  Any donation is greatly appreciated in helping me reach my goal of raising $3,500 on behalf of the Charlestown Lacrosse and Learning Center.  

I am always up for a challenge so if you want to challenge me to run under my goal finishing time of 3hrs 20mins by offering a bonus donation, you let me know and its on!

Thanks,
