Dear friends and family,

I can't quite accept the fact that I am well over 40 now and decided to prove myself that I still could run a full marathon despite my old age... what better day to do it on my birthday in the great city of New York next Sunday.

To make sure this effort is not just vain self-reassurance and that it is used to do some good, I will run for a charity that I'd like to support.

The Travis Roy Foundation awards grants that help spinal cord injury survivors and funds research into a cure.

I am asking you to help by supporting my fundraising efforts with a donation.

Any amount, great or small, helps. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

Thank you,

Thomas
