Run for the Money
Last weekend my sister-in-law raised more than $2,000 for leukemia and lymphoma research by asking friends and family to sponsor her participation in the Marine Corps Marathon in suburban Washington, D.C. According to USA Track & Field, her efforts are part of a growing trend that has seen annual increases in charity fundraising by runners and walkers. Last year, reports USATF, these amateur athletes contributed a very impressive $714 million to charitable coffers. Doing good and getting healthy? It sounds to good to be true, but as my SIL would attest, ’tisn’t so. Well done, all. | 501(c)
