Ana is running in the 2010 NYC Marathon!

We’re absolutely delighted to let everyone know that Ana got into the 2010 NYC Marathon!  We’ll keep everyone posted and let everyone know how she does.  She’s already started training and is running 8 miles per hour!

Just for reference…  I think I could probably run 4 miles in an hour, and then I’d probably stop somewhere during mile 5 or 6.  ;)

Ana is going to be doing some fund raising for Team for Kids.  Here’s some more info about that:

Team for Kids is a team of volunteers who raise funds for critical services provided by New York Road Runners Youth Programs. These programs combat childhood obesity and empower youth development via running and character-building programs in low-income schools and community centers in New York City, throughout the country, and in South Africa.

Making a donation is easy! You can click on the Donate button on Ana’s Team for Kids page to give through their secure fundraising site. You can also find information there about where to write a check, or how to get your company to match your gift! All contributions are tax-deductible.

Your giving helps New York Road Runners Youth Programs to:

• Serve over 85,000 children in more than 400 schools and community centers with FREE programs.
• Reach children of all fitness levels and athleticism, with a heightened focus on reaching out-of-shape and overweight kids with little or no athletic experience.
• Prevent overweight or obese children from eventually suffering heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses that lead to health-care costs in excess of $100 billion annually.

Whether you are a runner, have worked with children, or have kids yourself, we hope you will join Ana to further this great cause!
