Mardi Gras Marathon
I wish so badly I could go down and run the Mardi Gras Marathon in a couple of weeks, but alas, even though I live at home my VISTA stipend isn't enough to cover it. And thinking about it, I probably wouldn't be nearly as attached to the hurricane relief if it weren't for VISTA in the first place, seeing as I started the day Katrina hit.
Anyway, since I can't go down there (not this time anyway, I'm still working on that), I sent them a donation. Anyone can, runner or not-net proceeds from the race go towards the relief efforts and plus you get a commemorative race shirt.

We need to keep this community going. We need to make sure people don't forget.

EDIT: You need to donate at least $50 to get the shirt. Thanks hbpen.
