Dear Friends;
I hope you had a very blessed Christmas
and that you were able to enjoy some
precious time with family and/or friends.
As we set our sights on the new year,
I'm setting my sight on the finish line
- that is, the end of a half marathon.
On January 17th, I will be participating
in PF Chang's annual rock 'n roll marathon
event, running the 13.1 miles.
Besides using this as motivation to get
in better shape, I'm also using it to make
a public statement that blind people can
participate equally in any activities.
Furthermore, I'm using it as a fundraiser
for the National Federation of the Blind.
Any funds raised will be split 3 ways,
going towards NFB's west valley chapter,
Arizona's scholarship fund and the state's
general fund. If you're interested in
contributing, please make out a check to
NFB West Valley, and send it to my home address:
Marc Schmidt
3202 W. Muriel Dr
Phoenix, AZ 85053
Thank you for your support,
Marc --
