Family and friends,
I know it sounds strange, but my jogging (OK... trotting...) habit over the summer has continued into the chilly New England fall, and I am trying to keep it going through the winter. To help in this goal, I have signed up for the Hot Chocolate Run in December (after some poking and prodding) to take my woods-running (OK... trotting...) to the streets. The run benefits Safe Passage, an organization in Northampton, MA that provides comprehensive, free services to women and children who have experienced domestic violence. At the end of the run, we all get hot chocolate.
In the spirit of the event, I am also raising money to support Safe Passage’s counseling, advocacy and shelter services, and all contributions are tax deductible.
Thank you so much for your support! It should be an adventure!
