Greetings,
After over 13 years of sitting at my desk typing away at my computer, expanding my waistline and a rising blood pressure, I've chosen to make a healthy transformation in my life and in addition, to help improve the health and fitness of children across the United States and around the world. I really want to play as long as possible with my kids, Emily, Zachary, and Elijah.
Sunday, November 2, 2008, my
feet will be hitting the pavement of New
York City to take on the challenge of one of the
world's great road races, the New York City Marathon! My running
efforts will raise funds that will go towards my charity team, Team for
Kids.
Team for Kids plays a
decisive role in responding to the devastating human and economic toll of
childhood obesity a deadly scourge whose long term consequences will diminish
tens of millions of lives and cost of hundreds of billions of dollars if left
un-reversed. Their programs improve health, combat obesity and
enhance personal development of children with their running programs.
As a Team for Kids member, I
am requesting your assistance by making a donation to my fundraising
campaign

You will receive a
confirmation of your donation by email and, additionally, I will be

Each donation will help
vulnerable children grow strong in body, mind, and spirit!
By the way, I am looking for
people to run with preferably in the 12-13 min per mile range :)
Over
the next few weeks I will be emailing you with places you can watch the race!
Thanks for your support,
Noah

appreciate it, if you would forward this email to as many people as you can and
encourage them to donate as well.
