The (crazy runner) Plea

Alright here is the deal, kids... 

I have 14 days to raise the last $910.80 for the commitment I made to raise $3800 for Team in Training.

I appreciate ALL of the amazing support you have all given me throughout this journey, but I still have a big last leap to go.

So here's what I'm going to do:

For every $25 donated in the next 48 hours, I will run 1 mile New Years Day.  

So if I raise the rest of the minimum of $910.80, that's 36.4 miles. Snow, sleet, freezing temperatures, hangover, whatever New Years Day in New Hampshire brings me, I will run through it. 

Because yes, (I am THAT crazy & ) I HATE cancer THAT much. 




Not me, but I'm certain my "I hate running in snow" face
is more miserable, haha
So, how far do you want to see me go?  Spread the word, tell your friends.  I'll check back in Sunday afternoon with an official Garmin picture.

The funds raised go towards helping find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. With your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.





Thank you for your constant support & love!  And please check out my friend Hope's blog post to see the results of our virtual "Lousy Medal" run!

edit:
***10:20 am update:  we are up to 4 miles...
***11:23 am update: 16 miles...
***3:48 pm update: 33.4 miles!!! Almost there!


PLEASE let me know if there is someone you would like to add to the "honor roll" list. I plan to run each mile in someone's memory or honor. Because running is a piece of cake compared to the fight so many have to put up against cancer...
