$ Dollah, dollah bills....$

So, along with running 26.2 miles, I also have to raise $3,000. If I don't raise that money then it comes out of my own pocket. If that happens, I will be homeless, have credit card debt and still have to run 26.2 miles.

Ok, that was dramatic. ;) But I AM running the Boston Marathon for a charity, Charlestown Lacrosse and Learning Center. Here is some info about it below and a paragraph from my "Please donate and make a difference" email.

"CLLC creates a community in which young people of all ages and backgrounds possess the leadership skills, self confidence and knowledge to succeed on the field, in the classroom, and in life.  An education-oriented, multi-service youth development program, they use lacrosse, academic enrichment, and community service as vehicles to enhance intellectual curiosity, support and encourage academic progress, and motivate participants to set and pursue challenging academic and athletic goals. Budget cuts during these hard economic times have made it hard for places like CLLC to stay open. This leaves many of our urban youth without safe places to go after school  By making a tax deductible donation on my fundraising page, you can make a difference in the lives of these children."
