March Madness
Only 4 hours left to register!!!! Almost $2000 raised so far!!! It’s March Madness!!! Who wants to win some money and help out a worthy cause?!?
I am running the Boston Marathon on April 18th as part of TEAM MR8 for the Martin Richard Foundation. Martin was the 8 year old boy killed in the 2013 terrorist bombing of the Boston Marathon. As I am retired from the Army, I have chosen to fight against this violence by raising money in Martin's name.
See below for how you may help charity and also win some money via a March Madness Bracket; Half of all money goes towards the foundation, the other half goes to the top three winners. Deadline to register is 3/17 at 12:15pm ET.
