Giving Tuesday

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the long weekend!  In honor of Giving Tuesday (December 1st this year),  please consider supporting my run and donating to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

100% of donations go to the MDA to help fund research and patient support – and if you donate on December 1, the MDA’s board of directors will match your donation dollar for dollar! (And who doesn’t love doubling their money?) In addition, I am pledging to match $1 for every $5 that is donated to my page on Tuesday.  

Tax-deductible donations can be submitted, anonymously or hiding the amount if you wish, here (https://www.crowdrise.com/mdateamboston2016/fundraiser/denisechristie).   

Of course, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Giving Tuesday, matching gifts programs, and/or how I’m going to drag my body over 26.2 miles of hills.  🙂

For your entertainment…

Here’s the video I created as part of my application to run for the MDA’s Team Momentum!  Special shout out to Lily for filming the dance sequence.  Be on the lookout for an outtakes video soon!  🙂

So excited!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be running the 120th Boston Marathon next April to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  The next half year will be intense and full of training and fundraising!

I’ll be posting all updates here, as well as sharing stories about my long, (hopefully not too) snowy New England runs, how I got into long-distance running, and why I’m supporting the MDA. You can follow my blog to receive emails whenever I post an update.

Of course, the ultimate goal of this run is to benefit those living with muscular dystrophy and similar diseases, as well as to help researchers searching for a cure cross a far more important finish line: a world without muscle disease.  Please consider supporting my run by donating to the MDA (link on right)!  Thank you!

Happy trails,

Denise
