My personal message:

HI. I have decided to take on a personal goal of running the NY marathon.  Just crossing my fingers that my knees will hold up and my endurance will kick in.

I will be running for a charity and donations will go through this website which is simple, fast and totally secure. My fundraising efforts are for the Touch Foundation through the Who Cares Campaign that helps train health workers in Africa.

Many thanks for your support financially and emotionally -- please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate and support my cause!

I should be a featured runner on the page - so you know I am legit!  =)     http://www.whocarescampaign.org/p-runner.php

Thank you!  Wish me luck because I am sure going to need it!!

If your company matches funds donated, let me know.

Here is a short 9 min video on the charity - so you know where your money is going. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/video/share.html?s=news01n3097qb87

XOXO- Linda
