Greetings! 

I need your help! I just turned 45yrs old and decided I wanted to take part in 127th Boston Marathon to raise money for Metro Housing|Boston. The last marathon I ran was 12 years ago in San Francisco before kids and wanted to challenge myself again physically and mentally.  I have struggled with anxiety all my life and running has been so helpful!  The funny thing is that I don't actually like to run but I LOVE the way it makes me feel inside and out!  When I ran my first marathon in Los Angeles, I was sponsored by another non-profit organization called APLA and loved raising money for a great cause while getting in shape.  That said, not excited about doing the training runs this winter in Boston-brrrr!  I thought it would be a great way to get in shape, view the city of Boston and most importantly RAISE MONEY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING!

This is an incredible non-for-profit organization that provides affordable housing to those who are not as fortunate as us.  I am reminded that all around us there are so many families that need a roof over their head.  It is organizations like this that help achieve this!  Please help me reach my goal of $10,000. I thank you in advance for your consideration and donation!!!  

With Much Gratitude,
Sylvia
