Marathon fundraiser and Redsox ticket raffle

[wizzman]

As many of you know I was planning on running the marathon on behalf of Tenacity, a fantastic organization that benefits underprivileged inner-city kids via literacy and tennis programs. Unfortunately about three weeks before the race I was diagnosed with a significant stress fracture at the top of my tibia. After putting in all the work I was unable to even step up to the starting line. In a weird twist of fate I was given VIP grandstand passes to cheer on my fellow charity runners at the finish line. We all know what happened there. The first explosion went off across the street about 100 feet away from me. No doubt It has been an emotional roller coaster ride. Despite all the challenges I am pushing forward with the fund-raising that I mentioned at the banquet. I am VERY close to my goal of $4000. I am grateful for the many COM members and friends who have already made generous donations so far.

I am raffling off three sets of Redsox tickets. You get one raffle ticket for every $25 you donate and five tickets for every $100. The donations made back in January will qualify for the raffle as well. The fundraiser ends on May 1st. You can donate here:
