I need your help! I've taken on a personal challenge to run a marathon (that's 26.2 miles) to raise money for Kick’n4Chris.
I
ran my first marathon last year; however, this year I’ve decided to
make a difference by using my act of lunacy as a way to raise money for
a good cause. Stubbornness and determination are both qualities that I've been generously endowed with. I'm 100% committed
to run the full 26.2 miles, even if I have to drag myself by my teeth
over the finish line -- but I need your help to make it happen!
In order to finish the marathon, I need to raise at least my target goal of $6,000 for Kick’n4Chris. The marathon I will be running is the 2008 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Nearly 45,000 people are likely to enter this year’s Chicago Marathon. Last year’s marathon ended in chaos and commotion when temperatures reached
the city’s all time record of 88º F (31º C) two hours after the start
of the race. Hopefully this year’s marathon will be slightly cooler. The marathon takes place on October 12th, 2008, and I've already begun my training for it. If
you live in my neighborhood, odds are pretty good that you'll see me
sweating and gasping for breath at one point or another over the next
several months as I prepare myself for this physical and mental challenge. Your
tax-deductible contribution to Kick’n4Chris will not only help get me
across the finish line, but more importantly,it'll help relieve the
financial stress and to help ease the overwhelming medical bills Chris’
family has and will incur in the future. Some typical donation amounts are:
$1/mile $26.20
$2/mile $52.40
$5/mile $131.00
$10/mile $262.00
You can make the donation out for any amount you choose to -- anything
and everything is greatly appreciated! All donations should be made
payable to Kick’n4Chris. If you cannot provide your donation to me in person.
