I believe that everyone has the right to an active, fun life.  For many of us that includes some friendly and challenging competition.  As a high school runner, I know how beneficial athletics can be.  As a kid, I never imagined that I would compete in cross country and track.  For the past two years, that's exactly what I've done.  It's helped me understand discipline, commitment, overcoming obstacles, and how to live a healthy lifestyle.  For the past two years, I've run to compete.  Now ... I'm running to make a difference.

This is my first effort to raise funds for a cause through running.  I want to help ensure the athletes at Special Olympics have the same great experiences and sense of accomplishment through  participation in sports.  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally 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!
