My personal message:

Hi everyone!

On July 19th, I'm going to do my very best to finish the Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run.  It's a 100 mile race on trails across the Green Mountains and has about 30,000 feet of elevation change.  It's starts at 4am on Saturday morning with a 30 hour time limit, so let's hope I can finish before 10am on Sunday!

I've done a number of distance races now and have always wanted to use my running to help raise money for a charity.  I came upon Organs 'R' Us recently and am excited to try to help them out as best I can.

There are 98,000 people waiting for an organ transplant right now, 15,000 of which are children.  Organs 'R' Us helps these people get the lifesaving gift of a transplant and has raised $25 million over the years to help this cause.

Any help you can give is much appreciated by both me and Organs 'R' Us.  Thanks so much, and I'll let you all know how the race goes!
