UPDATE: Today is December 5th. This page has raised $450, my goal was $300. THANK YOU ALL. I did get out for 30 days of November and I completed 68 miles of a run/walk mix.

YOU ALL HELPED SO MUCH!! Thank you!!

This fundraiser is ending and I will be donating the funds to my cousin Kate's Rochester Hearth Walk & Run team.

UPDATE: Today is November 8th. I have raised $195 of my $300 goal....THANK YOU!! I have gotten outdoors each day (8 of 8 days so far) and have walked/ran 19 of 50 miles.

ORIGINAL POST: My name is Kelly and I am walking/running EACH day in November to honor my Uncle Denny. We lost him in October and he wished to have his life honored by donating to 2 different organizations: Rochester Heart Walk & Run or Act Blue. I have chosen to donate to the first one.

This cause also hits home because my husband deals with heart issues, we lost his mom to her heart issues, and as many of us know someone and/or love someone with heart issues. My uncle's heart was full of love for his family and friends, you can feel it in the tribute they wrote for him. [Dennis Eldredge Obituary] I was inspired by the American Heart Association 50 miles in November, so here I am. At times when there is loss, people can feel like "what can I do??"....that was me. I saw the challenge on Facebook and I thought "I can do that.....everyday will be my challenge, but THAT I can do and raise money and awareness!" This is something I can do to honor Uncle Denny and hopefully help a cause that meant something to him. Hopefully it can also bring warmth and joy to my Aunt, cousins and their families.

Please donate what you can and if you can. Please pass along to others as well. My goal is $300 and I will walk/run at least 1 miles each day with the goal of 50 miles in November. At the end of the month I will contribute to the funds to my cousin's team for the Rochester Heart Walk & Run in honor of her Dad. Thank you in advance, your time and consideration mean a great deal to me. TAKE CARE!!
