My personal message:

I am running the the NY Marathon this year to help raise money for a terrific charity.  Garden of Dreams helps arrange special events at Madison Square Garden for kids suffering from devastating illness, extreme poverty, hunger and abuse, and homelessness.  Kids without much joy in their lives will get to have an amazing time because of you, you get to feel great, and I get to boast about running the marathon.  Everyone's a winner!  But I need your help.  Please use this page to donate and support this effort.  Thanks. 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page and assisting me in supporting Garden of Dreams to make dreams come true for kids in crisis. Be sure to visit www.gardenofdreamsfoundation.org for more information on this wonderful organization!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

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