Title: TAR and the NYC Marathon!! HELP THE TEAM!
Post by: georgiapeach on November 06, 2011, 09:06:56 AM
The BIG day is finally here!!
 
And YOU can make a difference!!
 
Several of our TAR 19 racers are racing to support the indomitable Ethan Zohn's GRASSROOT SOCCER (http://www.grassrootsoccer.org/) charity, many of the others are there to cheer them on.
 
As I write this, they are only $5036 away from reaching the goal of raising $200,000!!!
 
As most of you know, Ethan has fought lymphoma. He recently announced that his cancer has returned, but despite receiving chemo, he will be running in the NYC Marathon!! This article explains why running this is a A VERY BIG DEAL (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20543156,00.html).
 
Please consider making even a small donation to the Grassroot soccer team (http://www.crowdrise.com/teamgrassrootsoccer). Every penny counts and can make a difference.
 
And SO proud of our TAR 19 runners!!
 
You can support them individually as well:
 
Justin Young (http://www.crowdrise.com/teamgrassrootsoccer/fundraiser/JustinYoung)
Liz Canavan (http://www.crowdrise.com/LizCanavan)
Marie Canavan (http://www.crowdrise.com/MarieCanavan)
Jeremy Cline (http://www.crowdrise.com/teamgrassrootsoccer/fundraiser/JeremyCline)
Sandy Draghi (http://www.crowdrise.com/teamgrassrootsoccer/fundraiser/sandydraghi)

Not to mention a Racer from season 13.

Good luck to all of them, especially Ethan and Grassroots soccer.
