Thank You for Your Support During Times of Change

Thank You

I want to thank many of you for your support of Therun4life this year. We had a rough year but many of you were very supportive and I will never forget it. I made some mistakes because I am human but I am looking forward to 2010. I know that like with my running I put everything on my sleeve, I am a very emotional person. This will never change. It has been truly hard the last decade from the struggling with the kids health to the current economic times. So I thank you for the support during the downs and the ups.

A Look Ahead to 2010

2010 looks very bright coming up. Therun4life is restructuring into an official 501c3 institution. In the past we worked for other 501c3 organizations now we want to go on our own so that we can do more help in our community. The upcoming events and your support will assure that we get there. I am so happy that a small idea started by my children and I is near and dear to you. It has grown into a concept that has touched hearts and lives. Thank you again.

Help Us..Help The Community...

We have helped many different families and organizations in the community over the years. We are now asking for your help. We have a new and exciting 2010 on the horizon and we need sponsors/donations to get therun4life.org over the hump.

With your help we will have the 1st annual Run4life dinner, Majorpalooza Run4life 5k, and the possibility of two more local 5k's and a relay. In this time we also want to be able to raise enough money to be an official 501c3 organization. If that happens the sky is the limit for this community.

The time is now and we have to act today! So if all of the hard work we have done for you is important, please show us with your support!

Go to http://therun4life.org today!

Congrats to TheRun4Life Team

I want to thank the following members of TheRun4Life team: Dan Townsend, Juan Martinez, Karen Foos, and Molly English-Bowers. We set out on a goal to run a fun and competitive 50 mile relay and we did! We had some bumps in the road but we had a great time out there! The course was very hilly. Almost every leg had a big up and then a big drop off the table.

The won their open mixed division by over a half an hour. The team finished 2nd overall in the entire relay out of 17 teams. Everyone did great and thank you for running for Therun4life. Every time someone runs for the project that my kids and I created, I get pretty emotional. Thank you again and see you next year!
