Dear Friends, Family, and Neighbors,
I am writing this to let you know that I have registered to run a marathon for charity – the New Jersey Marathon on May 1st, 2011. I will be doing this charity run as part of Team Running on Love, a NJ Non-Profit 501(c)(3) corporation. Running on Love organizes charitable fundraising events for individuals helping them support noble and worthy causes of their own choosing.
In this marathon run, I will be completing the event in loving memory of my mother, Pearl Lucille Harvey and have chosen to support two charities that are dear to me; The Transfiguration Scholarship Fund a 501(c)(3) corporation providing scholarships for inner-city children and The Light of Pearl Foundation – a children’s cancer foundation.
Along with hundreds of other runners who will be there that day, I will be running 26.2 miles at this event as a symbol of hope, endurance and unconditional love. This will be an incredible challenge for me as running marathons always are. It will also be a very personal mission for me as I do this in loving memory of my mother, who passed away more than 42 years ago from cervical cancer. This journey will be very sweet and very emotional as I do this act of charity as a loving tribute. With every step I take, I will think of my Mom and my love for her.
Making a donation is easy! Just make a check payable to Running on Love, and mail it to my address listed above. If you prefer to use a credit card, you can visit my Running on Love Fundraising website at:
Another option is to purchase amazing PartyLite scented candles to help me raise funds. Ask me for brochure & order forms.
It would be greatly appreciated if all donations were in by April 14, 2011; I will stay in touch with you to bring you stories about my training and this marathon event. Thank you in advance for your support and generosity!
All my blessings,
John
