Virtual Race: 2nd Annual Rock Your Socks 10K/5K

As you know, I am running the NYC Marathon this November with Grassroot Soccer. Up until now, my fundraising efforts have been a huge success, thanks in no small part to many of you. I truly appreciate everyone who has helped me reach my goals.

So, as my way of saying thank you (and, I won't lie, to drum up some more donations), I am hosting the 2nd Annual Rock Your Socks Virtual Race (the inaugural race was a 10K/Half Marathon last May). This year's event will consist of a 5K and a 10K division and the only requirement for entry is that you make a contribution of any size to my fundraising HERE. (Note: If you already donated, you do NOT need to make another donation. But, feel free to!)

Want to "register"? Here are the details:
