Running for a Cause

Hi everyone,

This November I'll be running a half marathon for a very worthy cause. The Ronald McDonald House is a foundation very close to my heart. When I was 6 years old my mother lived there for 3 months, while I was at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. The facilities are tremendous compared to a regular hotel, and there also support services that connect directly to the hospital.
During my training I will be blogging about the training, and my interactions with others who've been positively impacted by the Ronald McDonald House. Many of the runners/walkers raising money are family members/friends of children who've spent a lot of time at Stanford Children's Hospital.
If you'd like to donate to my fundraising efforts, or learn more about what I am doing, please visit: http://www.active.com/donate/trmh/elishamcarthur . If you'd like the link to my blog, please email me and I'll get you that web address. If you are not comfortable with donating online, please send a check filled out to Ronald McDonald House and mail it to:
Elisha McArthur
870 E. El Camino Real #155
Mountain View, CA 94040

All donations are appreciated! Please send or donate online by October 20, 2007 . Thank you for your support!
