Yea - Carolyn!
Last weekend, Team IOH participated in the 2011 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC. Runners from 24 states and Canada joined forces to raise over $100,000 to support the mission of Inheritance of Hope! Specifically, these donations will be used to fully fund the November 2011 Times Square Legacy Retreat that is happening in 2 weeks. Here’s a recap of the weekend…
The Marine Corps Marathon is right around the corner – a week and
a half away. Fundraising has been taking place for the last few months by members of Team IOH. The top fundraiser as of October 15th is Carolyn Crooks, raising $5805 to win the fundraising competition! Mike Davis was a close second at $5780! The Team has shown great drive in moving towards the team goal of $75,000. There has been some very creative fundraising ideas. I want to share with you today a note from Gabriel, who has raised over $1000 by selling salsa and enchiladas!
Mike is returning for his 3rd MCM with Team IOH!!!
The 2011 Marine Corps Marathon will be run on October 30th, 18 days from today. Team Inheritance of Hope is proud to be a 3rd Tier Charity Partner with the MCM (4th Tier being the highest partnership level possible.) Inheritance of Hope will be represented by runners from across the U.S. The excitement is building for this year’s race…there’s a lot of chatter happening…even President Barack Obama has something to say…

When they decided to start an organization that served families just like theirs, I was thrilled to be a part of it. I did what I could to help. Read the rest of this entry »
When a runner hears that the marathon race he registered for is 16 weeks out, bells and whistles sound in his most inner-being. If he hasn’t already, this will be the week that he begins his marathon training plan. I ran my first marathon in 2007 – the ING NYC Marathon…
