NYC Marathon Training & Fundraising Update

Whew, I'm not sure which is harder -- training for a marathon or fundraising for it!! I'm up to 16 miles, which I have to run tomorrow morning. Last week I did 14. It takes some time and motivation, but it feels great to finish. I've been trying to make sure that I'm adequately hydrated and take some energy gels every hour or so.

In regards to fundraising, I'm at just over $1,500 and I need to get to $3,500 by Nov. 1. No small task. I've sent emails, posted Facebook updates, sent press releases, blog posts -- you name it, I've probably done it. I'm so incredibly thankful to my friends and family who have made donations. As I mentioned before, anyone who donates can send me the name of a friend or family member who has battled cancer.

Help Me Make a Difference in the Race Against Cancer
I'm running in the 2011 ING New York City Marathon with Fred's Team to raise funds for crucial cancer research, and I'm asking you to help me by donating to my run.

How You Can Help
Please make a gift to my run today -- any amount helps -- and bring us one step closer to a world without cancer. Your support helps fund new research and new treatments that bring true hope to countless men, women, and children.
