If you’ve been following along on my running journey for awhile now you may know that I’ve chosen to run in support of different charities several times over the past few years, in fact, the whole reason I began running was to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in memory of my friend Kerry.

In case you missed it, I posted a quick update on the New York City Marathon this morning – really just to THANK YOU for all of your support both on my actual run and my fundraising for North Shore Animal League!

Ok, so a lot of you know by now that I am really struggling with the entire idea of the New York City Marathon. Yes, it was my decision to do it. I actively seeked out and joined a charity team to fundraise for entry into this race. So why, if I seemingly have no … Continue reading

A few weeks ago I sent my crazy talented artist cousin one of my favorite pictures of Madison… …and a few days later she sent me this! How awesome is that??! Wait…check out the … Continue reading
In honor of National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day today (you knew that right?!?) and this Friday marking 6 months until the 2014 New York City Marathon, I thought it would be the perfect time to kick off my fundraising for North Shore Animal League as part of Team Animal League.

I’ll be running as part of Team Animal League to benefit North Shore Animal League, the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization! In the coming weeks I’ll begin to share … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on my thoughts on joining a charity team for this year’s New York City Marathon. I sort of had mixed feelings, and really loved all the feedback I got from everyone. At the time I thought the “3 strikes and your IN” rule still applied to … Continue reading
