Sponsor Me — and the Unknown Distance Challenge
Please join with me in raising funds to benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation as I attempt to participate in a full season of NY area running events.
I would like to secure a pledge commitment of any amount you choose per completed racing mile.
At the end of the year, the pledge amount will be:
(total completed race mileage) x (your chosen rate-per-mile)
The pledge can then be fulfilled directly to the Lance Armstrong Foundation via
their secure website.
I've put together a target schedule of running races for 2007. My main focus will be on two races, the WABC Father's Day Fight Against Prostate Cancer on June 17th, and the ING New York Marathon on November 4th. I anticipate being able to complete approximately 120 miles of racing. Because of the ever present possibility of injury or illness, this represents a significant challenge to my ability to run consistently over the course of the year. There is also the possibility that my condition might change and require direct treatment of the tumor, which I expect will result in a significant reduction in what I hope to accomplish. By choosing to participate in this fundraising endeavor you are giving me a great deal of personal encouragement in my own “unknown distance” challenge with cancer.
