Dear Friends,
With less than a week to the 114th running of the Boston Marathon on April 19th, I am pleased to report that our fund raising for the Villaj Nuovo orphanage in Haiti is making good progress. Thanks to the generous donations of so many of you, we have raised in excess of $1,500 and hope to reach the magical $2,000 mark next week.

Your donations for the Road To Hope will go a long way towards helping feed and educate the orphans in such desperate need. Thank you, thank you , thank you!
As far as my race preparation goes, this is the taper week, which means; run a little and eat alot!! Yes, at last the crazy mileage eases off and I am relieved to be honest. To date, I have run over 600 miles preparing for this big day and most of it in challenging winter conditions...
This week I am cramming in the calories and protein at a crazy rate and preparing mentally for the holy grail of races.

On race day I will be spurred on by your generosity for the motherless children of Haiti . You can expect an update next week!
