For my 29th revolution around the sun, I am doing a fun fundraiser for 1Hood, an organization that has been doing tremendous work in the city since I was in high school and truly made a difference in Pittsburgh over the last year with our struggles with COVID-19 & America's late seeming awakening to the 401 years of injustice (to say the least) to Black and Brown Americans.
Those of you who don't know me, I am coach and gym owner. Running is my bag and so what better way to do a fundraiser than by running. Here's the plan:
For every $10 donated, I have to run 1 mile. Hoping that the fundraiser gets past $100 (I'm only running between 10-13mi) I will be enlisting the help of my coaching clients, athletes, supporters, and friends to
-run
-walk
-bike
the rest of the miles! If we fundraise $1,000 there will be 100 miles to cover. $5000 then 500 miles to cover! Yes, you can of course run remotely.

I will be hosting this run on Sunday January 24th meeting at the North Shore near Bettis Grille. My birthday is January 23rd and that is when the fundraiser will end.
