Need to get to Boston Marathon!!
Donation protected
Hears my story. Backin 2009 I started training for my first marathon, the Detroit Free Press Marathon. My whole goal was to some day be Boston Qualified. Since then I'v ran the Detroit Free Press Marathon twice and the Disney World Marathon twice. Iv ran 13 of the Rock-n-Roll marathons between 2010 and 2011. In 2012 I started training for my first Ironman, Ironman Texas. Witch I have done twice now. Iv done the Wisconsin Ironman in 2014. I also did Ironman 70.3 Hawaii in 2014, Ironman 70.3 Texas in 2015. Iv also doen several Sprint, Olympic and Half distance triathlons around texas. In 2015 I ran the Houston marathon hopping to get Boston Qualified. No luck. Missed my time by 9 minutes due to an injury I was recovering from. Also in 2015 I decided to do the Norsmen Extreme Triathlon in Norway knowen as the hardest extreme triathlon in the world. In early 2016 I started training for Norsmen witch led me to maney maney hours of open water swimming, getting no less then 20 miles of running in a week and no less then 200 miles of biking a week. I did charity rides all over the houston area and even going to several places thruout texas to get in rides that offered lots of hill climbing. Back to early 2016, I did the houston 5 k run the day before the Houston marathon. Well durring the 5 k run I got Planter Fisciitis in my left foot. The next morning getting ready for the marathon I was in so much pain. I thought to my self "theres no way Im getting to Boston". Right before the start I got a text from my swim coach saying "BQ, you got this, no problem" and as soon as I read that my pain went away and I ended up finishing with a time of 3:32. 7 minutes under the time cut for my age! After 7 years I had finely gotten Boston Qualified!
Hears my problem. Two weeks ago I got layed off due to my company losing its contract. Money is tight and the bills need to get paied and I still need to buy my plain ticket to Boston so I can finely run what Iv been dreaming of since 2009, The Boston Marathon on April 17 2017. I need the funds asap as the price of a plain ticket will only cost more as April nears.
Along the way the past 8 years I have had my fair share of running related injuries witch in some cases hed me back from running for up to 2 months. Always at the wrong time when Im training for a Boston Qulafyer marathon. Finely being Boston Qualified and receiving a leter in the mail saying that Im officialy "in" the race is one of the happiest feelings in the world. Just because you run a fast qualifing time doesnt mean your in the race... you still have to wait to see if your time was fast enough to all you a slot to get in before the race is full and they stop taking people in. Right now Im at my running 20 miles a week training plan but losing my job has put priority more in to finding a job and the worrie of not finding a job and not having the funds to go to Boston are killing me. I don't know If I'll ever have a chance to run fast enough to get Boston quilified again.
So Im asking for your help. Any amount will help to get me to Boston. You have no clue how happy it would make me to be able to know that I have the funds to be able to get to Boston and not have to worrie about it anymore. I encourage you to donate with an open heart knowing that you will be helping make one mans dreams come to life. Let me just say that I am so grateful for everyone who can donate. I'll never be able to pay you back for all the wonderful help you have kindly given me.
Thank you so very very much for all of your help and support.
