Fundraising for Team for Kids & the 2011 ING New York City Marathon

What better way to suffer through 26.2 miles of two-stepping (people have two feet and they take steps) through New York?  How about running with a charity?

Team for Kids is a group that aims to increase activity, education, and health among children.  By putting together programming and other activities, Team for Kids is trying to combat childhood obesity and emphasize the importance of being active.  As an active kid and currently an active adult, I know how necessary it is because of its positive impact on your mind, body, and spirit.  That is why I am excited to run with Team for Kids.

To participate in the New York Marathon, I must raise $2,620.00 ($100 per mile), and so far I have raised $895.00.  If you are able to donate any amount, I truly appreciate it!  The donations are tax deductible and may be made through my fundraising page at:  http://www.runwithtfk.org/Member/PublicPage/3936.  You may also join me on Sunday, November 6, to cheer me on or pass me a Red Bull (I probably would not drink it but may consume it after the race).

Life is all about adventures, love, and happiness.  This is my journey.
