As a result of winning the Examiner.com America Inspired contest, I have started a new initiative to continue to give back to charities while encouraging fellow runner friends to take up the banner of charity running.
Over a series of marathons and ultramarathons from Sep 2012, I will be inviting as many as 50 fellow runners to partner up with me in raising awareness and funding for my three main charities (the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, Back on My Feet, and the Mount Sinai Medical Center WTC Health Program) in my pursuit of my 50sub4 and 50sub3.5 goals.
Some of these runners are first time charity runners willing to be introduced to the fund and awareness raising undertakings involved with running for a charitable cause. Others are seasoned charity running veterans who are lending their help in furthering the mission and causes for my charities. Each of them have decided to take on the challenge of training hard to run 26.2 miles and completing a marathon to benefit others. Their efforts are truly commendable!
