Run Edgar Run!

I haven't ran the largest footrace in the world in years, however, I was able to convince a friend to join me for this fun run! Weather was ideal for running from the bay bridge to the break of Ocean Beach. Finish in just over an hour, but with the added stops and enjoyment of the run, it was actually over an hour and a half.

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...
