Some people think I’m crazy for running a marathon….
Most people think I’m crazy for running 12 marathons in 12 months….
But everyone will think I am completely insane for running a marathon with scissors!!!!
Actually, I’m only running the first mile with scissors. The rest of the race is where you come in. I want to make this marathon a little more interactive for everyone supporting Parenting Alone so I am taking on a challenge. I will run each mile in a requested style for the small sum of ten dollars per mile. “What the heck does that mean?” you probably asked yourself!! For example, if someone wants me to run with an egg on a spoon for a mile, they chip in ten bucks or more and tell me to do it. Just go to my website at http://www.firstgiving.com/12X12 and donate, add your request under the comment section.
I’m willing to do most anything, as long as it’s safe and won’t hinder me from completing my miles. I’ll juggle, sing, and skip, anything you can think if. This race belongs to you, and with your help I can raise 250.00 dollars or more for Parenting Alone with this race alone. As proof of my unusual feats I will have someone with me at all times taking pictures. You gotta admit that will be a funny update after this race!!
The race is on June 20th and starts at 9:00pm. I will be running a course around Coppell, and if anyone would like to join me for part or even my entire run I would love it. Come run, ride a bike, or even rollerblade with me. This should be a real crazy/fun time. I will send out more updates on what I have scheduled. If you plan to have me do something please donate early so I can practice. I figure all this weirdness is going to add a lot of time to my run so I want to be as prepared as possible.
Most important, don’t forget to pass this letter on to anyone that can help, or that needs help. Parenting Alone is a really good group of people that can do some great things for people who need it. For those who haven’t, check out the video and pass it along. http://www.parentingalone.org/about-us/
Wow! That is a great idea! Good luck with marathons.
