Thanks SO MUCH for supporting my marathon effort and the programs & services of Wediko Children's Services!

Hi all!

I am training for the 2012 Boston Marathon® as a member of the Wediko Marathon team. It's my first marathon, and I am really excited to have made such a HUGE commitment - not only for myself personally, but for an organization I truly believe in and support.

The Wediko Marathon team is committed to raising money for children and families struggling with emotional, behavioral, & learning issues. Having spent three summers up in Wediko's NH setting and one year in the school-based program, I have seen first-hand what a lasting, deep impact Wediko makes on the lives of the children and families it works with.

Running a marathon, even the Boston Marathon, pales in comparison to the challenges so many children and their families will face this year. Wediko Children’s Services provides support and guidance to both staff and students throughout New England. School-based services include clinical and program consultation, individual and family therapy, Side by Side Social Skills groups, and professional development for school staff.

The work and support of Wediko makes a real difference in the lives of so many. But like all non-profits, fiscal uncertainty is a reality every year. The Wediko Marathon Team supports these invaluable services. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure! You can also send your donation directly to me, at my home address, or speak to me in person (I take credit cards!) Checks should be made payable to Wediko Children’s Services. My goal is to raise $6,000 by January 30, 2012 - and I really think I can do it with your help!

Please consider making a contribution today! All donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated by the children and families Wediko serves! MANY thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! Thanks and I will let you know how training goes!

Lots of love,

Vicki

    So I guess a marathon isn't exactly a dance or stage performance, but break a leg! You're going to be great.
