help me help muscular dystrophy!!!

I want to post a recent e-mail that I sent to several of my contacts for all to see.  Please consider a donation of any amount.  Please let me know if do decide to donate by commenting on this post.  Thanks!
                                                                                                                 

You may or may not be aware, but next Friday, I will participate in the Blue Ridge Relay race that is a 208 mile course that stretches from Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia to downtown Asheville, NC.  The run is split into 36 “legs” that the runners complete in succession.  I am running with 5 other team members and I will run in the 3rd position and run a total of 6 of the legs that will account for over 25 miles of the course.  The race starts Friday morning and we will run throughout the night and finish sometime Saturday afternoon.

Our team decided to put our training and running madness to work to help a good cause.  My brother-in-law, Alex Sullivan, is one of the team members that will run with me.  He suggested that we raise money to benefit Muscular Dystrophy.  He is being “locked up” and needs to post “bail”.  His bailout will go to benefit MDA.  Please see his message below and consider donating to this great cause.  If you do decide to donate, please let me know so that I can thank you, as I won’t have a way to track donations on his website.

Thank you for your time!

Kevin

 I’m proud to tell you that I’m being locked up…that’s right, I’m going behind bars to help Jerry’s Kids© and MDA. To be released on good behavior I have to raise bail and I need your help! Alex

    Speaking of your motivation blog from yesterday …

    Running = rewarding in and of itself. Running for a good cause? I can’t even imagine how rewarding that would feel. Great idea to put those miles to some good use other than your waistline!
