Dear Friends and Family,
I need help getting my husband out of the house. Its not that I don't love spending time with him, but he has decided to run a marathon next year and he is way behind the eight ball on his training regime.
He has taken the very bold step of enrolling in the 2013 New York Marathon to raise funds for Amnesty International. I think he was drawn to location rather than the event, but regardless he is a man of his word and now needs to train extremely hard to be fit enough to fulfil his commitment.
Strong integrity - once he commits, he delivers.
His Amnesty International team of 20 hope to raise $180,000 to help create a world where justice freedom and dignity are not the birthright of a privileged few but a deeply held vision for all. If you are able to support this worthy cause, please visit http://ainym2013.
Donations are tax-deductible and a receipt is emailed automatically. Which is great if you sometimes lose your paper receipts; just keep it in your inbox until tax time and print it out!
By January 4 John hopes to raise $2,000, so if you were planning on making a donation over Xmas to a worthy cause, I think I have found an answer for you!
If you know of any organisation who would like to sponsor a run, please pass on the details so that John can dedicate the run and use every form of social media to promote the great intentions!
Wishing you all a very merry Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year!
Lisa
