Wounded Heroes
I’m hoping to improve my running time – before the end of the year. So I was looking for another race and I found another 5K which is being done by an excellent organization in a neighboring town.
The funds raised are for a very good cause. Their mission is to raise funds for injured marines and their families, while they continue their long road to recovery. If you are in the area – I would recommend your participation (or if you are so moved a donation).
Edited: If anyone is interested in challenging me (and like helping a good cause) – you could commit to donating a set amount ($5 – $20) for every minute I am under 30 minutes. Note: I have no connection to this nonprofit organization and you won’t be sending any money to me, but directly send it directly to the charity. Let me know how much you are pledging and once I run the race I’ll post my time and you can donate the money on their website.
The last race I did just under 30 minutes and the race before I did just under 29 minutes – so it is unlikely that I’ll bankrupt you. Hope to hear from some of you.
