I got some local businesses to sponsor my season of two 50 milers (Collegiate Peaks & Silver Rush) and two 100 milers (Big Horn & Leadville) in '08. The money went to the local alternative high school's outdoor ed. program, and I knew I had to finish each of those races not just for myself. <br /><br />Now I live in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, and I'm organizing the St. Croix Scenic 50 mile run (www.stcroix50.com). Once it gets off the ground I'd like to link the race with a cause and donate the proceeds. Promoting the race, I've met all sorts of people running for different causes: Racing for Recovery's Todd Crandell is coming down and there is a woman planning to run coast to coast for MS, just to name a couple. Anyway, I think what you are doing is awesome and wish you the best of luck!St. Croix Scenic 50https://www.blogger.com/profile/01720613202543951563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099990.post-24145937832321798892009-10-05T18:35:17.194-04:002009-10-05T18:35:17.194-04:00I was listening to your latest podcast, the one yo...I was listening to your latest podcast, the one your recorded while wearing your vibrams...<br />You were running with your dog,right?<br />I was hearing this jingle from the dog-tag.The whole time I thought I was running with an invisible hound!<br />When I passed a woman with a young large lab.<br />Wow that was very weird as I though he was after me!The Jackalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11694538568373709826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37099990.post-73536385578347021922009-09-17T17:28:46.037-04:002009-09-17T17:28:46.037-04:00Maddie would be so proud of her uncle and what he ...Maddie would be so proud of her uncle and what he is doing.

However, through your idea and few others I am compelled to do "something for a cause" with my craft as well this season.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration,<br />FinkelsteinTimothy Finkelsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115240451825034876noreply@blogger.com
