The 18 week training program has begun, injury, heat, and all! We have officially decided on a team name:
JOSHUA AND EMILY'S TEAM FOR SBA: Conquering NYC to Help Conquer Spina Bifida
Emily is our 13-month old daughter who was born with the neural tube defect Spina Bifida, and Joshua is the 8-year old son of Carey and Scott, friends we have made right here in Buffalo. Scott is taking on the 26.2 mile monster in honor of Joshua, who has Spina Bifida. Our team also includes myself, Katie my sister, and two ladies from the tri-state area Shannon and Allison.
We are each raising $5000, with a united team goal of $25,000 donated to the Spina Bifida Association. We are running on November 7, 2010 in the ING NYC Marathon as "Charity Runners", meaning we are able to run in it because we are raising this money for SBA.
So how are we doing, hows our Keicher goal of $5000 looking? Well, the first week or two we saw several online donations and received several checks in the mail. But things tapered off, and WE HAVE $4440.60 TO GO!!!
This is a wonderful cause. It is because of the SBA that things like the National Conference (from which we just returned) are held. It is because of them that education on Spina Bifida occurs. It is because of them that local chapters exist, where individuals and families can turn to people on the same journey and receive advise, support, hugs, help. Spina Bifida is a complex, complicated, permanent reality for 166,000 people living with it in the United States right now.
Please help us Conquer Spina Bifida by making a donation to the Spina Bifida Association in Honor of Emily Keicher.
Please visit this page and select "Send a Tribute Gift", and follow the steps to donate!! Please note, you MUST select "In Honor" and put in "EMILY KEICHER" for the donation to be counted towards our team. And by sending an acknowledgment to "Elizabeth Keicher" at elizabeth_webb1976@yahoo.com, I will receive an email blast that you donated.
Or, send a check to Chris and I, made out directly to the "Spina Bifida Association". We will handle the rest for you.
Thank you for considering the Spina Bifida Association, and thank you for helping to support Emily and her future.
