Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
This autumn, Hallie and I are running marathons for Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Hallie is running the Chicago Marathon (10/12) and I’m running the New York City Marathon (11/2). Our goal is to raise a total of $2,620. And if you donate you can vote on what I will wear as I run around New York City. It could be Batman, Sparty or even SpongeBob Squarepants. It’s up to you. All you have to do is donate, vote and support an amazing cause.
