Dear Family and Friends~

I am so excited and deeply honored to be a part of the 2021 Boston Marathon McCourt Foundation Team!  TMF has dedicated its efforts funding research for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, MS, Parkinson's and ALS. They provide direct financial support for innovative neurology research led by world-renowned physicians at Cedar-Sinai, Mass General Hospital, and Brigham & Women's Hospital. In addition, a portion of the fundraising goes to help patients and families who are suffering from one of these disorders. I am fairly certain that each of us has been touched by someone, whether family member or friend, suffering from one of these disorders. It is incredibly difficult to watch them deteriorate from one of these incurable diseases.  As I face the Boston Marathon in October, I also face the challenge of raising 7500.00 for the the McCourt Foundation.  As many of you know, I LOVE to run/swim with purpose. I cannot think of a more compelling reason to jump out of bed on Oct. 11 and RUN. If I can contribute to furthering research and help someone who is suffering and/or support a family member/caregiver going through any of these disorders, well then, I will be RUNNING my butt off!  Because I CAN and they cannot, it is the least I can do! Frankly, I hope to CRUSH my fundraising goal and of course I am training like a crazy woman to CRUSH the Boston Marathon!! If you are able to donate I am deeply appreciative! Thank you for helping me CRUSH IT!
