THE STORY:
I am running ONE LAST TIME!!! After volunteering at the finish line last year with the medals and witnessing the tragic events of the day first-hand ( see my before with colleague Ron and after photos)…it only felt right to return to the Marathon and race this time for some great causes. Boston is such a great place to live, work and visit and we need to support causes that educate and improve the quality of our lives we often take for granted…I am hoping you can support me… Remember tax deductions for 2013….
Below is some great info on my charities…
Two very important nonprofits need your help. The Dorchester Historical Society http://www.dorchesterhistoricalsocietyblog.org celebrates this section of Boston history while also bringing to the community great programs about our City’s history and architecture. The Roger Clap School is also an important institution where a great administration works to educate our elementary school youth. It is also where one of my former staff, Bill D’Antonio, volunteered continuing his good works with children until he was suddenly taken from us. They have a large initiative to revamp their outside school yard where these funds will be earmarked.
