Fantastic cause, Angelo! You're a firefighting marathoning rock star! Good luck raising the money!

While I question this whole "marathon running" idea (26 miles is a stupid long distance) I'm fired up to see you do it to support ATC!

Henry Mayer, Friend$50San Carlos, CA02/23/2011
Wait, I'm confused. Once you're done building up your legs, do you cut them off and donate them like last year?

I briefly considered saying something offense here but realized that your friends don't know me. So I guess I'll just be boring and tell you that you're awesome and good luck.

Goal

My goal is to run the SF Marathon on July 31st while raising money for At the Crossroads. To prepare I also plan to run the Kaiser Permanente 5K on February 6th, Emerald Across the Bay 12k on March 20th and the US Half Marathon on April 10th. WHOA!

In 2009 I raised $1,185 while returning to capoeira.

In 2010 I raised $1,772 while growing and cutting my hair to donate to children with cancer.

In 2011 I hope to raise $2,500!!!

I chose this goal because

I've recently become very serious about my health and fitness and I want to push myself even further. In the past I've considered the idea of running a marathon absolutely impossible, but now I want to challenge myself. ATC's I Think I Can Campaign has always been a great way for me to accomplish my goals and I'm excited to do it again!

I'm helping because

At The Crossroads is a fantastic organization that reaches out to homeless youth at their point of need and works with them to build healthy and fulfilling lives. I’ve been involved as an outreach volunteer for the past 3 years and have seen ATC’s great staff in action. They have helped hundreds of street youth turn their lives around, find housing, counseling, jobs, and become successful, engaged members of society. Their success stories are amazing.

About At The Crossroads

ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.

Updates

I DID IT!!! Don't ever let me do that again!!!

Thank you to everyone that came out to support me at the race and thank you to everyone that donated to my campaign. I couldn't have done this ridiculously stupid thing without all of you. I'm happy I did. :)
