Help me....and many many others!

Hello fellow Peertrainers,

(note: I hope this doesn't qualify as spam, but I do apologize if it does. I checked out the Peertrainer etiquette page and this didn't seem to violate any of the rules.)

Anyway...as part of my weight-loss and get-fit efforts, I have begun jogging again for the first time in ten years. As a short-term goal, I am focusing on getting ready for a 4 mile race in late November that happens to benefit the charity for which I volunteer each week. I hope to raise at least $200 (I and most of my friends are grad students, so I'm starting small :)), in an attempt to motivate me *and* help out the poor sick people. I don't think I ever would have started to train on my own, so this has been a great catalyst for me. First and foremost, I wanted to share that with you all. Sign up for a charity race...if you won't run for yourself, maybe you will for others? :)

Secondly, if anyone can donate a few dollars to support my training and fundraising efforts, I'd appreciate it!

Here is the info:

I am participating in God's Love We Deliver's 12th Annual Race to Deliver on Sunday November 20th in Central Park. The Race to Deliver symbolizes the organization's daily race to ensure that no person, or their dependent children, ever has to face the unthinkable combination of illness and hunger. Your tax-deductible gift will help GLWD win that Race.

As a non-profit, God’s Love We Deliver relies on contributions to fund their efforts. Since its inception, the Race has raised over $6,500,000, providing 3.1 million meals for men, women and children living with AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses. To date, over 49,000 caring New Yorkers from both the private and corporate sectors have participated.

It's easy to make a donation, if you are able. Please visit my personal webpage (click the link below) to make a donation online!

Thanks,
Rachel
