Hi Friends and Family!
We are excited to announce Annie, Molly, Allison and Jenna will be running the New York City Marathon on November 5th, 2017!
Our goal is to not only cross the finish line in November, but also fundraise $3,000 each for New York Road Runners youth programs by running with Team for Kids.
26.2 miles seems far…. why are you running you ask?
Ever since running our first half marathon together, we have loved the camaraderie (and bottomless brunch after races) that come with running as a group! We have always talked about running a marathon, but this year we are making it a reality!
We are running for Team For Kids because NYRR offers free health and fitness programs to children across the nation. A very important thing for getting kids on track toward a healthy and successful life!
(Ask us this question again on our 20 mile long run week though… :) )
Sound good? How can you help?
We know running a marathon is no easy task, and we would LOVE your support. So we want to make donating simple and FUN:
1) Team Heart and Sole Fundraising Concert on September 25th!
Please join us for an evening of music hosted by iris worldwide to support fundraising efforts for our entry into the 2017 New York City Marathon.
Singers/Runners include Annie Schulenburg, Jenna Masi, Allison Benoit, and Maureen Brady. They will be joined by special guests, Kelli Bruno and Angela Rose Masi. You can expect to hear a variety of songs accross contemporary, classical and musical theater.
Location is iris Worldwide, 632 Broadway 5th Floor, New York, New York.
Tickets will be $25 at the door and will include an open bar and raffle opportunities!
2) Donate on our page here!
3) Sponsor a Mile! Each of us have a mile up for grabs for a donation of $50 - Please indicate in a comment to us which mile you would like to sponsor (e.g. I would like to sponsor Allison's 25th mile!)
We really appreciate you taking the time to read this note and supporting us on our marathon journey.
Help spread the word!
Love,
Annie, Molly, Jenna, and Allison
