Lauren's Running the 2012 Boston Marathon!

UPDATE: I have less then $400 to raise to reach my goal of rasing $4000 for the Bay State Games!

Thank you all for the continuous support!

On April 16th, 2012 I will run my first marathon. I am thrilled to be part of the Bay State Games Marathon Team and will be working hard to not only cross the finish line, but more importantly to fundraise for such an important charity. As a youth and college coach and a former collegiatesoccer player, I’ve always been fortunate to be involved with athletics. It means so much to me not only to give back to my sport through coaching but also continue to make an impact through the world of athletics as a part of the Bay State Games Marathon Team in 2012!

Bay State Games is a non profit, 501©-(3) organization that has been in existence for 30 years. The mission of the organization is to promote health, physical fitness, education, sportsmanship and personal development through athletic, educational and health related programs. Over 50,000 Massachusetts participants, ranging in age from 6 to over 86 take part in the various programs of the Bay State Games.

In 2011, the Bay State Games Charity Running team raised over $91,000 while accomplishing their goals of completing the 2011 Boston Marathon. These funds were essential in allowing the Bay State Games to be able to continue their mission of producing quality recreational, health and educational programming for Massachusetts citizens of all ages and abilities. In 2012, our goal is to raise over $100,000.
