Hi all!
This year, we decided to take the Cow Harbor 10K friendly competition a step further... On November 3rd, 2019 GraceAnn, Patrick, Fran, John, and myself will be running the NYC Marathon. We realize this is a kind of insane decision but after years of consideration we figure it's best to cross it off the bucket list now. With about 8 months to train, some positive vibes, a little family competition, and a serious amount of motivation, I think we can do it.
We are running with Team for Kids which raises money for New York Road Runner's youth programs to keep the NYC kiddos (and kids across the country) healthy and moving. We've each pledged to raise $2,620 (26.2 miles omg) for TFK and you can help us by donating through our fundraising page! Totaling over $10,000, this pledge is a huge commitment for us but we're excited and ready to start fundraising for this cause. We've only just started this journey but we will definitely be using this as motivation and appreciate you so much for your support in it! There is more info about TFK and how to donate below.
To keep things simple, we decided to combine efforts and make this team page where you can donate to all of us together.
Feel free to join our cheer squad as well, PC and Maggie will be coordinating practices!
Thanks for always being so supportive and considering to donate!
Cheers!
Kate, John, GraceAnn, Patrick & Fran
