Dear MCM/10K runners,

 

Summer is officially here!  I hope you are all enjoying your summer and that your training and fundraising are going well.  Speaking of "official", we are "officially" four months out from the marathon! 

 

To date we have over 650 runners and together you have already raised over $65,000!  Our 2010 MCM fundraising goal is $500,000... so keep up the great work!  We are diligently entering all of your information into the Marathon system so that you may see your name soon when you log onto their website.

 
Please be sure to check out our quick links below!  Here you will find Coach Corey's latest training tips as well as a link to our webpage, where you will find the Fund's July newsletter.  Corey's article provides some fabulous tips for training in this summer heat!  And the newsletter highlights some our amazing athletes that participated in the inagural Warrior Games.  Great stories to share with your donors!  If you would like an emailed copy of the newsletter, I would be happy to send that to you.
  
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you again for believing in our mission and for "Running for the Fund!"
 

Warmest regards,
Kathy Wise
