Dear Friends
A year has passed and I am still running! I am training to run the Falmouth Road Race for the second time on August 11th 2013 and am writing to ask for your support this year. I run to benefit the MINDlink Foundation. This foundation funds research into finding treatments and hopefully a cure for ataxia (which I have) and other neurological conditions.
I am training hard and hoping to improve my time from last year and raise even more for this worthy foundation. I ask that you consider supporting me, anything you can do would be appreciated. If you happen to attend the race, I will be the one running with the baby jogger with no baby in it!
This year I will be escorted by 3 Eagle Scouts from Troop 9 Plymouth, Ma. They will act as my guides to ensure my safety and wellbeing.
Please help me help the researchers who are working hard to find a cure, like my physician, Dr Jeremy Schmahmann. He and his staff actually ran the race with us last year!
