Start. 2016. Running.

As this year comes to a close, I'm reflecting on the many accomplishments, contributions, and challenges I've undertaken to help others. For that, I've decided to run in the San Francisco Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon San Francisco, CA on April 3, 2016 as a St. Jude Hero to support St. Jude's lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children. I want to help make sure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude, but I need your support to help me reach my fundraising goal. It costs $2 million a day to operate St. Jude. Did you know that 70% of the funds come from the public? That means your donation, no matter what the size, will help! A mere $500 will help me reach my goal! Please visit my St. Jude Heroes fundraising page to make a donation. I start hard core training soon! Join me on this continuing journey to help others. Sincerely, Edgar Running. Fundraising. Purpose. http://runedgarrun.blogspot.com/ DONATION LINK: http://heroes.s...

Living in the San Francisco bay area we at times take things for granted. Little do we notice the less fortunate are struggling for basic day to day needs like food and good healthcare. We tend to be insulated. I'd like to reach out to you and ask you to join me in supporting these organizations that engages us to connect with our community's needs. On my end, I'll be running in the San Francisco Giant Race 10K [6.2 miles] on Sunday, August 23rd to help benefit PROJECT OPEN HAND. Project Open Hand depends on the support of generous people in their efforts to provide their mission of meals with love for the sick and elderly a reality. With your generous help, they will continue nourishing some of the neediest ...

The San Francisco Half Marathon 2014 Registration Confirmation - I Made a Committment!

Ok. It's official, I decided to train for a marathon, well half at least. But today, as I start my 3-4 week run, a huge rain storm is coming into the bay area. http://www.thesfmarathon.com/the-races/second-half-marathon / The 2nd Half Marathon covers the second half of The San Francisco Marathon. The race starts at Spreckel’s Lake in Golden Gate Park and finishes on the Embarcadero alongside the Main Marathon Finish Line. It passes through Haight/Ashbury, the Mission District, into Mission Bay, and passes AT&T Park, finishing just before the Ferry Building alongside the Main Marathon Finish Line. The course is USATF certified and is a Boston Marathon qualifying race.
