 My fundraising goal: $1,000
Total raised : $1,675
I have had a passion for running for many years, completing
several half-marathons and three New York City
marathons; the most recent in November 2009. Despite
enjoying these races, running for charity has been even
a more fulfilling experience. It gives me a deep sense
of accomplishment as I run to help others and not only
to achieve a personal goal.
Why did I choose Children of Peru?
Having been born and raised in Peru, it was
heartbreaking to witness the poor conditions in which
many children live. Some live in the streets and beg for
money at traffic lights, others are exposed to parental
abuse and forced into child labor. As you can imagine,
many of these children do not have the basics to live,
the opportunity to get an education or access medical
attention they need. This is a reality I cannot ignore
and have decided to do something about it. I am honored
to run this race to help the thousands of disadvantaged
children in my country; they deserve a chance to lead a
better life.
Please support me as I race the NYC Half Marathon
on March 21, by
donating to the Children of Peru Foundation.
Click the link below to make an online donation
through PayPal. Make sure that my name is
mentioned in the "description" field.
You will get an email notification once you submit
your donation, however, it will take about 24 hours
to view your donation on the site.
You can also send me
(or directly to the Foundation) a check written to
the Children of Peru Foundation.
Put my name at the bottom of the check so that
they recognize your donation towards my goal.
Thank you for lending your support to this great cause.
Your donation can make a difference in a child's life!
Muchas gracias!!
