As many of you know, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp has had a very formative impact on me both personally and professionally. Participating in the growth of this organization over the past 10 years has been both a joy and a privilege and I leverage every opportunity possible to share this cause with others in an effort to send more children to the Camp each year. To that end, I have decided to run the NYC Half Marathon to enable more children to attend the Camp this year.
As a member of Team Hole in the Wall, I am using my participation in the
NYC Half-Marathon on August 16, 2009
as a way to raise funds for and bring awareness to Hole in the Wall Camps. I am committed to raising $1,500. Please help me reach (or even exceed!) my goal by clicking on my support button. With your generosity, we can all share in the joy of knowing that we are helping to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Every summer at Hole in the Wall Camps, hundreds of children become athletes and actors, painters and poets, swimmers and singers, clowns and canoe paddlers, naturalists, equestrians, and hot air balloonists. It is amazing what these campers accomplish in one week; just as amazing are the obstacles they overcome on a daily basis, for these children suffer from serious illnesses such as cancer, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS, and hemophilia. Camp helps keep them going – throughout the many challenges of serious illness.
