Run Edgar Run!

This year I'm coming back from a right ankle injury to run in the Marin County 10k on Sunday morning, April 30th. This will be my first run of the year and the first time running in this event! As always, I try to incorporate running in an event to help raise money. In this run, I'm raising funds for the Sustainable Sports Foundation . The Sustainable Sports Foundation addresses the need to promote local athletic events that encourage a healthy lifestyle and supports the values of sustainability and giving back to the community. The Sustainable Sports Foundation donates all net proceeds to give as many children as possible from low-income families in our community the opportunity to learn to swim, and be safe in the water. Join me in my fundraising efforts by making a donation today! http://www.active.com/donate/sustainablesports/Fundraise4Edgar   Mahalo -Thanks!

Yesterday, I completed the 2016 Transamerica Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 Marathon San Francisco. Along with 9,000 + runners, I managed to cross the finish line at under 2 hours and 15 minutes for 13.1 miles. I've done a few of these runs in the past but this one was really a challenge. One was my extra training to complete a run that would span over 13 miles in cold San Francisco and my concerted effort to help fund raise on behalf of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. I want to thank everyone who donated to my cause and for those of you who have not, there is still time. I find this to be an important organization to help fund. I was glad to be a part of it; join me on my efforts. Running. Fundraising. Purpose. Donate: http://heroes.stjude.org/donatetoday4edgar Half Marathon Results

In 2016, I will embark on a couple of running events in April. I will start training for the following half marathons; "The Transamerica Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon San Francisco affords runners that unique opportunity to run across the Golden Gate Bridge followed by a tour of the picturesque Bay Area and up and down its hilly terrain – through stunning neighborhoods and waterfront property. With unique historic city architecture and cultural diversity, this event is a fan favorite and it is the truest of destination cities." This run is scheduled for Sunday, April 3rd. This will once again be a fundraising running event to support and run as a St. Jude Hero to support St. Jude's lifesaving mission of finding cures and saving children. My goal is to reach $500 for this notable and worthwhile cause. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital The following Sunday, I will be running The Hapalua - Hawaii's Half Marathon on April 10th. In the next 80 days, I wi...

As some of you know, I'm an avid runner and enjoy keeping myself healthy. However, on the other aspect of my running, I like to use my runs to help contribute to fundraising for important causes and organizations. This year, I'm fundraising for two. 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 ...

I am registered for The Giant Race Half Marathon/10K/5K on August 23, 2015 and I am fundraising for Project Open Hand , a nonprofit organization that provides nourishing meals and groceries to some of the most vulnerable individuals living in our community. I invite you to help me raise critical funds for Project Open Hand so they can continue to feed our neighbors who are ill and often lonely. For every $2 you donate, Project Open Hand will provide a nutritious meal for someone in need.   I'm engaging in a year of fundraising efforts. Why? One, it's a year I turned 50 years old. I'm very fortunate that I have my health, love, family, and friends with me. Each entity has shaped my efforts to go after things I never would have even touched or entertained. But I did it. Second, each fundraising cause there is a story behind it. Either a friend or situation touched me to really be reflective of my effort to help. Finally, my ability to simply touch or af...

I'm at it again. I'm training to complete another half marathon, 13.1 miles in the upcoming San Francisco Marathon. While I'm preparing for the run, I'm also encouraging others to either join me in the run or help fund raise for a San Francisco neighborhood-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to transform the community and youth through the MAGIC of collaboration. MAGIC was founded in 2004 by the SF Public Defender’s Office to address San Francisco communities plagued by poverty and violence. Through forming partnerships with community residents, faith based organizations, local government, nonprofit organizations, schools and other foundations, awareness and participation in the struggle for self-determination and a just community was raised. http://momagic.org/about/ Running.

I would say, that running over 2 hours non stop was quite a challenge this time around. But it was for health reasons and running for a good cause. Results

Dear Friends and Family: I am writing to tell you about two important challenges I am taking on in 2014. I am training to run The San Franciso Second Half-Marathon as a member of Team Shanti to support San Francisco's underserved HIV/AIDS and breast cancer communities. And, as a Team Shanti runner, I am committed to raising a minimum of $500 bucks for Shanti. I’d like you to know why both running and fundraising are important to me. First, the physical challenge (of course) of a long marathon is something I hope to continue to take on and finish. But with current training, discipline and the limitless support of Shanti, I see the goal is within reach. I am truly blessed with good health and great support toward achieving this goal, unlike the clients Shanti serves. You know I love to volunteer in any way I can. And through my volunteering I have come to respect the Shanti commitment to the needs of our community members living with HIV/AIDS or breast cancer. Shanti focuse...
