Welcome most excellent RunKeeper folk! Welcome friends & family!
This year, Boston will hold it's 114th Marathon... and through a chain of unlikely events, I'll be running in it... barefoot! (Well, in my Vibrams, but hey that's pretty close!)
26 miles is a long distance, and despite the Mass Pike's issues, you never hear anyone say "I'll just hoof it back to Boston... all the way from 495"
And yet in a few weeks, I'll be running my first marathon from Hopkinton to Back Bay, without sneakers... and I couldn't be more excited! It's going to be a great day, not just for the spectators and the other runners, but especially for myself and the kids of the Healthy Champions program.
Healthy Champions, run by the Bowdoin Street Health Center in Dorcester, teaches kids about health and wellness issues, ranging from good nutrition & violence prevention, all the way to community gardening (for fun and profit!).
I need your help to empower these kids to be wellness ambassadors within their families and schools.
Be a benefactor to a special program & sponsor my (sneaker-less) run in Boston's 114th Marathon.
(And, for every $10USD you donate, you'll be entered in the most-excellent RunKeeper Boston Marathon Sweepstakes: http://runkeeper.com/bostonmarathon )
Thanks everyone!
