Running a 10K to Feed People Going Hungry
As some of you may know I am currently signed up for the Women's Health Run and Feed 10 race this year on September 23rd, 2012; my 1st 10k (6.2 miles) race EVER! As part of my participation in this race, I am raising funds for FEED Foundation in support to ending domestic hunger - one child at a time.
I also am turning 33 this year on Thursday September 20th and thought this would be the best way to celebrate my birthday; by taking action to make a change in the lives of other people. I am very dedicated to funding efforts and doing my part to help out those in need.
In lieu of presents, a donation would be an amazing birthday gift. Your donation will go towards providing healthy nutritious meals to millions of children. Right now, 1 in 5 American children are wondering when they will get their next meal. Hunger hurts more than tummies; it also affects a child's ability to learn. There are hungry kids in every county in America, including YOURS. Hunger is a solvable problem. Together, we can do this! As little as $10 (just 10 bucks! That's a Starbucks drink and a pastry) can make all the difference.

NOTE: If you wish to donate offline via check or money order, please contact me directly for more details.
If you're not able to donate that is completely OK too. I understand that not everyone has disposable income all the time. In the event that you cannot donate but still want to help, there are a bunch of things you can do:
#1 Social Network. Share my fundraising page link on your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google +, etc. Remember the link is http://www.crowdrise.com/run10feed10ny/fundraiser/sammee
#2 Word of Mouth. Telling any and everyone you know about my campaign and seeing if they are interested in donating.
# 3 Email. Just forward this email along.
# 4 Invite. Invite others to this event page.
I appreciate you taking the time to read all of this and hope you will consider supporting this cause to end domestic hunger.
