Yesterday I spent much of the day putting this and that together. I signed up for the Manhattan Beach 10k (6.2 miles) to raise money and awareness for the CdLS Foundation. This fundraiser is a tad bit different from most of the other events I do or help out with or think about doing. This one is personal. My younger brother was born with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. The race itself is not designed as a fundraiser for this foundation, however there is a team that is participating, either by running, walking or volunteering who has decided to raise money and awareness for this cause-team CdLS.
My older brother has teamed up with me so that we support each other in our support :) or so to speak. I myself never was a great runner, I was always involved in sports but the act of running in and or itself was never pleasing to me, though try as I might, I wanted it to be. My older brother, he was a cross country, road race running, loving the whole running thing, running machine. So between the two of us, we should average out at just fine. This is for you Jack. We love you, we miss you, and we think about you often.
We have created a cause page through facebook, where you can join our cause and donate money. I am not asking for much-if each person donates $5 or $10 we will surely hit our goal and then some. A small gift goes a lot way. Maybe this means make coffee at home for a week instead of starbucks, maybe it means walking somewhere instead of a cab. Perhaps it means, something else.
Either way thank you so much for your support.
