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:
- Bill Reid
re:id design - Gay Wellington Geigel
My mom! - Jason Kiss
Friend, Sherwin Williams/CSU Comp. Sci. Grad Student - Jody Conner
Office Manager, Great Lakes Financial Group - John Soper
Professor of Economics, John Carroll University - Ken Bossin
Northeast Ohio Attorney - Kent Davis
Friend, DatASIA, Inc. - Loung Ung
Cambodian Author & Lecturer - Mark Hauserman
Director of the Muldoon Center for Entrepreneurship, John Carroll University - Martha West
Ink Shop Marketing, Inc. - Ryan Shary
Friend, Vibrant Mind Studios, Inc.
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!
