Running with Team Reeve in the windy city

I found a charity to run with! I signed up for the Chicago Marathon a few weeks ago. Then, one day for class, we went to the NeuroRecovery Network Clinic at Ohio State. We learned all about their high-tech rehab and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. I had heard their were some great videos on the site, so I decided to check it out.

While I was there, I saw a link to the right that said "26.2" and thought to myself, "that can only mean one thing!" I saw they were putting together a team for the Chicago Marathon 2009 and I had to find out more!

The Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation funds research and advocates to improve spinal cord injury treatment. This is the story (and video) that really motivated me to join Team Reeve: http://www.christopherreeve.org/site/c.ddJFKRNoFiG/b.4440581/k.8DF8/The_Chase_Is_On.htm

So I have taken on the challenge to raise $2,000 for the foundation. You can contribute at https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=307590&lis=1&kntae307590=92E8318DA70141D2AD9D4A5FB87DB8D5&supId=250391126

Finishing my first marathon, Columbus 2006

I've embarked on many journies in my running-life. From my first marathon to qualifying for and running the Boston marathon. Fundraising presents in new challenge for me in Chicago... and hopefully push me to a new personal best time! I can't wait!

Running in the 112th Boston Marathon in 2008! Achieving a lifetime goal:)
