Dear Friends/Family,
16 employees representing
the member airlines of the SkyTeam Cargo Alliance have decided to run the ING New
York City Marathon with Team for Kids, and we are asking for your support of
their inspiring mission. Team for Kids is a team of volunteers who raise funds
for critical services provided by New York Road Runners Youth Programs. These
programs combat childhood obesity and empower youth development via running and
character-building programs in low-income schools and community centers in New
York City, throughout the country, and in Africa.
The runners for the SkyTeam Cargo team are: Jean Yves, Juan Devarez, Camiel Eurlings, Jan Grabmuller, Eric Hartmann, Wouter Heikens, Jill Jacobs, Jan Krems, Junghoon Lee, Jacques Leijssenaar, Eric Mauroux, Sukki Min, Lilin Qiu, Soeren Roerstroem, and Evans St-Vil

Your giving helps New
York Road Runners Youth Programs to:
·
Serve over 100,000
children in more than 400 schools and community centers with FREE programs.
·
Reach children of all
fitness levels and athleticism, with a heightened focus on reaching
out-of-shape and overweight kids with little or no athletic experience.
·
Prevent overweight or
obese children from eventually suffering heart disease, high blood pressure,
diabetes, and other chronic illnesses that lead to health-care costs in excess
of $100 billion annually.
Whether you are a
runner, have worked with children, or have kids yourself, we hope you will join
us to further this great cause!
See you at the finish
line!
