Make me run!

On Saturday October 8, I’ll be running with my kids in their annual school Jog-a-thon.

My kids go to a small church-based private school. Every year they hold two major fundraisers since the tuition doesn’t cover the costs.

Here’s the scoop. The kids run. The teachers run. The principal runs. Some of the parents run. We get to run for one hour. One lap is one-eigth of a mile. We are asking for pledges of a specific dollar amount or a per lap amount. The donors who pledge at least $10 or 25 cents per lap get entered into a drawing for $250.

Would you help me out by being a sponsor or by offering advice on running the event? I would really appreciate it.

Since security and privacy are issues on the internet, if you would like to sponsor me, please just send me a PM with the amount you would like to pledge. DO NOT provide any personal information. I don’t even need your name. I’ll just send a reply after the event with the address of the school so you know where to send your donation.

I’ve been logging my run training. It looks like I can do between 6 and 7 miles in an hour if I push it. That translates to about 50-54 laps.

Thanks,
Joe
