The coach for my cross-country team has organized a pledge run for various charity events, which will take place October 3. This has been an incredibly successful run in the past (last year the team raised over $2500!). My request to all relatives who read this: Pledge a small amount of money per lap (which is .25 miles) and send it our way after the run. Even 50 cents would be a huge help! I estimate I'll run 20-25 laps in the given 60 minutes. Please post your pledge in the comments, or send it to the family Yahoo email address.
These are the links to the charities we will be donating to:
http://www.bridgingdevelopment.org/
http://www.jua.org/
http://www.carbonneutral.com/
http://www.tecza.org/art.php?dzial=ostowarzyszeniu (the site is in Polish, but basically it's, and I quote, "working towards the health and happiness of blind and partially blind children through charitable activies, health care, rehabilitation and education in work and society)
http://www.synapsis.waw.pl/%22 (this is in Polish too; the charity helps families with autistic children and other families suffering because of different health, educational and social problems.)
Thanks for the help,
Kyle

Your parents will pledge $1 per lap if you run 25 or more laps. Less than 25, then you can pay (how's that for motivation?!)
I will match your parent's pledge.
If you run 25 or more laps, I will also pledge $1 per lap. If you run less than 25...you pay.
Wow! Are we tough????

Your Aunt Martha couldn't make it around the track these days without looking like the bid bad wolf from the three little pigs.... huffing and puffing. I'll pledge $1 lap.
Sorry we missed this...next time send me an email and I can sponsor you.
