I am running in the 2015 Boston Marathon as a Michaels Miracle Marathon Team member for the THE MICHAEL LISNOW RESPITE CENTER..

$5,010

raised by 43 people

$5,000 goal

For those of you who don't know my story I will try and give you the quick version and why this cause is very important to me. In spring of 2008 I weighed just over 400lbs, I needed to fix that or my life was going to be much shorter than I wanted. Through diet, exercise and the support of all my family and friends my life will never be the same. I have lost just over 200 LBS. Running has been a major reason for this life changing experience and given me my second chance.

My nephew, Dustin however doesn't have a choice such as I did to change, he requires constant care and no matter how hard he tries or how much support our family gives this young man he won't be crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon or more importantly living a life without constant care and oversight that we all take for granted.

This 26.2 Mile run is about my achievement and also about giving help and hope to the ones that just need our love and support. The Michael Linsnow Respite Center is just what individuals such as my nephew need and deserve. Your support will give those individuals with special needs and their families a chance to experience joys they may have not enjoyed otherwise. 

Thank you for all your support your contribution will make a difference in someones life.
