THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored my 5K run!

A big thank you to everyone who donated money and sponsored my 5K run!

I ran alongside hundreds of others in Beachwood, Ohio this morning as part of the annual Race for the Place fundraising event.  All proceeds raised (including your donation!) directly support The Gathering Place and allows their organization to continue offering services free of charge to families touched by cancer in Northeast Ohio.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge each person who sponsored my run:

  1. Bill Reid

  5. John Soper

And for all of you who are curious — I finished the race in a respectable 31:42 — which is an average pace of 5.88 MPH.  I’m training hard to build up endurance and speed and regularly do 2 miles at a constant 6.5 MPH on a treadmill every other day.  In my next race I aim to beat 30 minutes.
Thanks again and I’ll see you next year!

5K Run in Beachwood for The Gathering Place

Jeff Zimmerman and I will be running in a 5K race on June 7, 2009 to help raise money for an organization called The Gathering Place.  The Gathering Place is a support center providing programs and services free of charge for individuals and families touched by cancer.  The race takes place in Beachwood and more information can be found by visiting their website.

Jeff and I are asking for donations so we can meet our fundraising goal of $100.  Any amount would help — $5, $10, $20 — whatever you can afford.  You can make a donation online using a secure credit card form.

Thank you in advance for your donation.  You’re helping a good cause.
