Fund raising for Melanoma Research Foundation

Mark and I have started fundraising for the Melanoma research foundation again. We'll be raising $4,000 between the two of us and also training for runs. I will be running the Richmond Half Marathon and Mark will run the Richmond Full Marathon.

We started training this weekend with the coach and team. Last year I was a walker, this year I want to run it. My coach started me on a 2:1 run walk schedule. I run 2 mins and walk one until I have the stamina to up it to 3:1. With luck by the race I'll be up to a 5:1 or 6:1 ratio.

If you would like to visit our fund raising site it's at www.firstgiving.com/alicyndrew

 

I'll be posting details of our training and fund raising here.
