Hey guys,
I know I haven't posted for a while, but I have been sooooo busy!! Luckily, I am graduating in December...its coming up so soon, and I'm so excited about it. :-)
Anyway, this is a shameless livejournal attempt to hit you all up for some fundraising. As you all may or may not know, I am running in the Miami Marathon on January 29, 2006. Yes, that's 26.2 miles. Yes, I am a crazy person. But we all knew that. :-P
However, I am not just running the marathon, oh no...I am training through the National AIDS Marathon Training Program in order to raise money for the Whitman-Walker clinic. Whitman-Walker provides treatment, counseling, and other essential services for those suffering from HIV/AIDS in the D.C. area. They are really a top-notch organization...To read more about what they're all about, go to http://www.wwc.org .
But yes, I am raising money. And that's where you guys come in! If you could please please please give me a donation of some sort (no matter what the amount, every little bit helps!), I would be so grateful. But even more so, the thousands of AIDS/HIV patients and their family members that you will be helping will be grateful as well. I have committed to raise $2700 by December 15th, so please...donate as soon as possible, if you plan on doing so!
"So, how do I donate, Malinda? I want to do it NOW!" is hopefully what you are thinking. :-) It's easy. The direct link to my donation page is http://www.aidsmarathon.org/participant.asp?runner=DC-5086&Year=2005&EventCode=MI06 . From there, hit Donate Now, and then donate to your heart's content! But, if that doesn't work just go to www.aidsmarathon.org, click on "Sponsor A Runner," type my name (Malinda Ellerman) in the participant look up, and that'll take you to my donation page. From there, click on the forementioned "Donate Now" button. :-)
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this. I hope everything is well with you. And who knows...maybe I'll actually have a real update soon!
Love,
Malinda
