Hey guys!
Just wanted to tell you guys about a really fun thing I am doing on Sunday to raise money for The Little Things For Cancer charity.
On Sunday I will be running the Gulf Coast Half Marathon in Pensacola Beach. If you haven't heard of this race, your missing out. It is put on by some of the coolest guys and has some of the best medals around. Can we say "beer openers" SCORE!
Anyways my awesome friend Ali has agreed to help me raise some money for my Marine Corp Marathon Charity The Little Things For Cancer. He has agreed to start dead last in the race and pass as many people as he can in the half marathon. CRAZY I know! LOL!
This is Ali and yes he is super fast. He finished 70 something out of 17,000+ last weekend at the Crescent City Classic. See F.A.S.T.!
He's pretty freaking cool and hes from London so he must be even cooler! Hes also my "race wife" Melanies husband. LOVE THEM!
So your probably wondering how this is going to raise funds?
I have always thought it was pretty stinkin' cool that TIMEX sponsors a celebrity every year for the New York City Marathon to start dead last in the race, and they donate $1 for every person they pass in the race to the NYRR Youth Association. So I thought I would do something like this to raise money for the TLT4C. Easy right?
Yep, I have some great people that are more than willing to donate money to a great cause esp when the great sport of running is behind it. And an awesome race series willing to help us out. So I have made a pledge page for people/businesses to make a donation to the TLT4C.

If you would like to make a pledge/donation to the TLT4C before the race on Sunday, please email me at [email protected] or go to my donation page and donate there too!
You can make a donation per person he passes, (i.e. $.25 per person he passes, up to $50) or you can make a one time donation for him running.
Every $1 helps, THANK YOU!
Don't forget you can still order one of my 0to26point2 t-shirts. A portion of each shirt goes towards the TLT4C.
I will have a full recap of the race results and how much money we raised on Monday morning.
That's a neat organization! I hope you get lots of support! I'm sorry I'm one of the "starving student" types...
