K&L #NYCMarathonBound Fundraiser HH: Thursday 8.11 :0)
Kristi Hummel
Hey Oneflip!
Long time no drinks! That said, if anyone is around Lauren and I are throwing a fundraiser HH this Thursday... swing by if you can and bring whoever... Why you ask!? Well we are #NYCMarathonBound :) and those that run and train together, fundraiser together... If you didn’t already know, now you do! In addition to tackling a 30th Birthday bucket list item, it was important to us that we run for a charity. That said, below is a quick blurb on the charity we are each running to support and three ways you can help us achieve our Marathon goals… including attending our HH this Thursday (details below)!
Why am I running?...
· Lauren: I am running/fundraising for the American Lung Association in honor of my cousin Justin Acocella who lost his battle with lung disease months before his 30th birthday.
· Kristi: I am running/fundraising to support Girls On The Run (GOTR), a charity that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running! As part of my training and to further my personal contribution to this great organization I intend to volunteer in the Fall. Being an athlete, in particular my involvement in team sports, was an important part of my childhood+ and I am very much looking forward to helping girls enjoy a similar experiences. Check out the first post on my donation page (link below) to learn more about why I chose Girls On The Run, the charity itself and what your donation could potentially support... Besides my NYC marathon entry, that is :)
