..........RUN!

In a word (or 49), this is what we will be doing on World Run Day! World Run Day is on November 9th, and it's a day that anyone, anywhere in the world can run any distance to raise money for any charity of their choice.  We will be running the freedom trail (2.5 miles) through Boston, and raising money for the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. This website raises money towards our fundraising goal of $500.  We've taken it upon ourselves to make your donations interesting .... all of the listed amounts correspond with the 16 stops on the Freedom Trail!
