Great job! Did you just choose MS or could you donate to other charities?

Doing charity run is the only way I believe, I'd be able to partake in the Boston Marathon.

Sorry. I can't comment without the following:

1) Finish time
2) $ raised
3) Pictures. Big, shiny pictures.
4) At least one story involving a biological function. It doesn't matter which one.

This thread is not nearly as dirty as I hoped thought.

Nice job, Ilene!

Oops, didn't mean to post just yet.

A member of my household recently passed away from ALS. The MS support groups helped her immensely. Thank you for raising money to help people with these heart-breaking diseases.

Thank you, Jeff. Hopefully with wonderful people like Ilene raising money and awareness for these diseases, someday we'll get them cured.

Thanks Dragon!

Modal, on the Boston website in September they will list the charities that the marathon has given extra bibs to, and their contact information. You pick one and apply to them to be on their team. They send you information on how to apply, and later contact you if you are accepted. Usually in October. There is a minimum you need to fundraise, for me it was $3,000. And you pay all other expenses yourself.
It is an awesome way to run Boston and I highly recommend it! MS sent me the singlet to wear and I went and got the names of all my donors printed on the back, so they went on the run with me the whole way. Smile
