Story

I will be running the "charity challenge" half-marathon (the second half of the Los Angeles Marathon) on March 8, 2020. I'm inspired by the work of Reading to Kids and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Running for Reading to Kids 2020. Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. This is a fantastic grassroots organization that was established to foster a love of reading and learning in kids grades K-5.  I spend one Saturday morning a month reading to kindergarteners and can honestly say those are a few of my favorite hours every month.  I look forward to being able to support the group with your financial donations as well.  Thank you!
