Challenge Yourself and Change a Life!

Presenting a check for $10,000.00 to
Community Lodgings, March 2011.

Join. Meet me this Monday and Wednesday at TC Williams Track. I'll be there at 7 AM, rain or shine. Friday, I'll be headed to Bristol, NH to run the marathon (state #29, marathon #40) on Saturday. I'll be back to run the WW 1/2 with you all on Sunday!

SUPPORT. Your donation is very important to the success of your Alexandria neighbor s. Each runningbrooke charity works hard to give life-changing skills to its students and families. The adults in the family use these new-found skills to pull themselves (and their families) out of poverty. It's no 'hand-out.' The students get a chance to learn, a book to read and tutoring to stay in school. Remember:

$25.00: 1 week of healthful classroom snacks for preschoolers
$50.00: 10 new books for kids who have none
$75.00: 3 hours of tutoring for middle and high school kids
$100.00: 800 pounds of food for homeless families

Packet Pickup. Those who mailed in their registration form follow the same procedures as those who registered online (I checked in with the race director). Here is the LINK with all the Expo and Transportation details.

Run strong and I'll see you race day! As always, ping me with your questions. Thanks to all of you for your fundraising efforts; I have special runningbrooke goodies for you!
