Well, They Have French In Common

Hi friends,

A few Dartmouth friends and I are running the Paris Half-Marathon on March 7th to raise money for Haiti via the organization Partners in Health (PIH).

As reports have shown, recovery groups are not having trouble mobilizing aid post-earthquake; they are struggling to handle the influx of capital. PIH is a fab organization to support because they have the experience and local community infrastructure and staff to effectively deploy aid.

I know many people want to donate to the Haiti relief effort, so hopefully you will consider this a good, personal means to do so.

Donate Here

I will keep you updated on the fundraising as well as my training/race results. In a freak running accident, I pulled my chest muscle two weeks ago but as of yesterday I am back in business. Me, the communist gym, and the slightly creepy, weight-lifting guys who hover behind me and comment whenever I change the pace on the treadmill.

Thanks, friends!

  3. I'm not even going to ask how you pulled a chest muscle while running...

  4. It was either due to that or typing since those are the only physical activities I do...
