Want to run the sold-out Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. on October 30, 2011? You’re in luck!
Jill’s House still has several spots available for MCM and the 10k.
More Information:
Jill’s House is a short-term respite care facility for families with children with special needs. You can check out the website for more information on what they do.
The Marine Corps Marathon is one of the largest fundraising events for Jill’s House and the more runners they have, the more children and families they are able to serve. By running the marathon or 10K, the money each runner raises will directly impact 6+ children with special needs and their families.
If you choose to run the full marathon, you will have a fundraising goal of $1250 – all of which will go to Jill’s House. If you run the 10K, your goal is $750.
For more information, please contact Kat Vinson, the Development and Events Manager at Jill’s House by email at kat.vinson@jillshouse.org or by phone 703.639.5670. The deadline to register runners on the team is August 17. Registered runners will be provided some tools and helpful tips to help you raise money. Jill’s House will take care of registering you for the race, if you’re not already.
Finally, if you know anyone else who may be interested in running for Jill’s House, please forward this to them.
I will keep this in mind and let my friends know! I've heard great things about this marathon.
where is it?
That sounds like a great cause! I love running MCM for a charity, which is why I'm already committed to the Fisher House. 🙂
