Hi I'm Michael and I'm raising money so James and I could run the Sidney marathon on August 30th.

We were both lucky enough to be granted the opportunity to run the Sidney Marathon by Achilles International but we still have to fund our trip.

So on the weekend of June 7th (my 63rd birthday) I am going to run a full Marathon around The Reservoir in Central Park. That 17 Loops of the reservoir plus enough for trips to the restroom at Tennis Center. It's going to take me between 9:00 and 10 hours.

Hi I’m James. As Michael said, we were graciously offered an opportunity to run the Sydney Marathon thanks to Achilles International. While we do have some e of our own money for this trip, we could use the help to fund this trip. Please consider making a helpful contribution.

James is going to manage my crew and we're going to share the money that everyone gives us so that we can go back and forth to Sydney without breaking our banks.

We are honestly looking for donations of any amount. But multiples of $26.20 are kind of traditional.

Also, we're looking for anyone to come run a loop or more with me. Each loop of the reservoir is about a mile and a half, and that'll take me a half an hour.

And if you can't donate money, come do a loop with me. Or be part of the pit crew with James. Or both.
