WELCOME TO JASON'S PAGE!

Hi all,

On March 21st I will run the NYC Half Marathon. For those who knew me as a young child, you will likely remember me as the one in P.E. class who could barely run a single mile due to asthma. I have since become heavily focused on my health and working out regularly. I have found distance running to be a great way to stretch my abilities beyond any level I thought possible as a child. My parents have been there to support me through it all.

Knowing the importance of supportive parents is why I am raising money for Inheritance of Hope. When parents are faced with time-consuming treatment and life-threatening illness, Inheritance of Hope steps in to provide support and scholarships to the children of these families. There are so many great organizations supporting research and cures for tomorrow, but Inheritance of Hope fills a need on a more personal context for families who confront illness today. It is my goal to raise $1,000 or more by race day for this important organization.

I cannot thank you all enough for supporting my run and for supporting such a great cause through your donations to Inheritance of Hope.

See you at the end of 13.1 miles!

Jason

As a member of Team Inheritance of Hope, my participation in the NYC Half Marathon on March 21, 2010 will raise funds and awareness for Inheritance of Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving families with children who have a parent with a life-threatening illness. Help me meet (or exceed!) my goal of $1,000. With your contribution, we can share together in the joy of helping to build legacies for families who are facing a tremendous challenge in their lives.

Inheritance of Hope coordinates and hosts Family Retreats for families with children under 18 who have a parent with a life-threatening illness. Because of generous supporters like you, their Retreats are provided at absolutely no cost to the participating families. These events offer unique and fun activities for parents and children together, forming precious, lifelong memories for the whole family. They also create a community of people who find comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles. Just as importantly, these Retreats are restful – a rare luxury for ill parents. Beyond the Family Retreats, Inheritance of Hope also offers a scholarship, inspirational literature, and speaking engagements that address the deep needs of these families.

Inheritance of Hope is a young organization with a big vision. In the United States, there are over one million family members facing the challenges of a parent’s terminal illness. These families’ entire lives become consumed by the illness, leaving them without the resources to plan or pay for meaningful family time. Inheritance of Hope’s vision is that “Every Family Deserves a Legacy.”^®

Thanks for your support!!!
