Muscles for Mike
Oh hey internet. It's been a while huh? I know, I know I'm a blog slacker. Lots has happened in the past six months, I wont bore you with all the details.
However, I did decided to run the Chicago Marathon again this year!!! If you don't already know, Chicago decided to switch to a lottery system for registration this year. I was pretty nervous about the prospect of getting selected, but I went ahead with it anyways. I have often thought about running for charity, but that seems very overwhelming to me. Where do I start? What charity do I pick? How to I raise money? Just thinking about it gives me anxiety.
Remember my running partner Amy, whom I ran the marathon with last year? Well, she invited me to join her charity group team for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Amy's older brother has muscular dystrophy, and has an amazing story. Mike has beat all kinds of odds, and is happily married with a young son and a full time job. When Amy told me about the team she was starting I couldn't be more proud to join and raise money for such a great organization. Our team is Muscles for Mike, look what a good looking group we are!
Our team has now grown to 9 members! Did you miss your chance to sign up for the Chicago Marathon? Lucky you! There is still time to join the MDA team and get entrance to the Chicago Marathon!
