This will be my third year running the Boilermaker 15k. I am especially excited this year because I have decided to participate in the charity bib program. I am going to be running for the Sitrin FundRacers. I hope that you will make a donation to help this wonderful organization. All the money raised goes to help Sitrin Military Rehabilitation Service and Adaptive Sports Programs at the Sitrin Medical Rehabilitation Center. This group is a non-profit organization.

Here Are Some Pictures Of What Sitrin Does:

The services available at Sitrin have also helped Team USA Paralympic Curler Jimmy Joseph, who has competed in the Paralympic Winter Games in 2006, 2010, and these latest games in Sochi, Russia.

Whatever you can donate to benefit this incredible cause and help me meet and exceed my goal of $500, it would be greatly appreciated. I will be donating $100 of my own money and even if you can only give $5, it will be put to good use. Thank you so much for your support. I am honored to be running for such a remarkable organization!
