Miami Marathon

First, I'm so HAPPY to say that the in-laws are coming today!! :-)  YAY!! It's been TOO long since we've seen them.  While some of you may get the "dreaded in-laws" syndrome I have the opposite.  My in-laws are the BEST ever!! I can't wait to relax and have fun with them over Thanksgiving.

Second, a team of reporters (6th graders) came to my classroom this morning (from the third period journalism class-lol) to interview me for my running.  I told them my plans to run the Miami Marathon in January and then I told them about my fundraising site.  While I was telling them I realized I hadn't told YOU!

I'm running the Miami Marathon on January 31st, 2010.  I've decided to run for a cause.  I know that running 26.2 miles is going to be hard and I need a reason other than post-race burgers and beer to get me through (beer and burgers gets you through 13.1.  I don't know about 26.2).  :-)  I've decided to raise money to help find a cure for diabetes.  As you know, my brother has diabetes and many of my students have this disease.  I think that we can find a cure with more research. 

Here is the link to my findraising site.  I'd like to raise $500.00.  You can donate through the page! It's super easy and any contribution would be welcome! :-)
