Hi! I need your help. I'm raising money for the American Red Cross, who does great work that impacts society and most of all of our life's in some way. Some of the ways they make their impact is through:
Disaster Services- planning, preparedness, education, and relief to victims of major and single-family disasters
Home Fire Campaigns/Sound the Alarm- works in high risk areas to install free smoke alarms, and provide fire safety tips
Biomed- Blood donor recruitment, collection and education
Service to the Armed Forces- enable those with family members serving in the United States Armed Forces to resolve family emergencies
International Services- Support the Global Red Cross network to provide services
Training Services- Red Cross classes in first aid, CPR, lifeguarding, swimming & water safety education— plus other lifesaving training—all helping to make our communities safer.


About myself:
I grew up running as a soccer player and all through high school. But I didn't start running again until my 30’s then even more when my son started running with his Jr high and high school track and cross country teams. I have always been active with hiking, mountain biking and hunting. Regularly testing myself through personal challenges has been part of my training program in my adult life. Training in Arizona has given its own trials due to the extreme heat most of the year and running on a treadmill is not my favorite way to get the miles in. This will only be my 3rd marathon but I have participated in more than 15 half marathons.

I have wanted to run a big race for several years. To get the opportunity to train and run with the Red Cross Team in the Boston Marathon is really an opportunity come true.
Thank you for considering a donation on behalf of the American Red Cross to help me reach my fundraising target.
