STUFF ABOUT ME:

I'm a one-legged runner.  I've run half-marathons from Cape Cod to the Cascades, the Falmouth Road Race a dozen times, and countless other races.  I've also carried the Olympic Torch over the Charles River during its run prior to the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games.  My father was a collegiate football player with asthma (this was a big deal back in the forties).  Both my kids are visually impaired artists.  So doing these counter-intuitive activities runs in the family, but of the three generations, my kids have the biggest challenge by far.

And so, I need help with funding for a cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa.  Please give to the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary with a donation through my page.

Thanks much.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME:

People with disabilities (or who are otherwise considered to be disabled) need to do their best to be examples of hope and encouragement to others whose hope and ambition is not so strong.  I try to set this positive example.

'May the Votes' Be Ever in Your Favor :)

Hi Chris! I hope May is treating you well!!!

We wanted to see if you're in the neighborhood to bring PURE JOY to a very deserving child's life... A $20 donation will provide a birthday celebration and cake for one of our 25 students- an experience they have NEVER HAD in their life. Can you imagine never getting to celebrate your special day and not ever eating a piece of cake in your entire life? Well, either can us, so we want to change that for our extremely hard working students!

Donate $20 to provide the once in a lifetime memory for one of our students, and we'll provide you a picture of the event- something you can cherish forever as well :)

Cheers and Happy Crowdrising,
Megan + Imagine Scholar Team

Chris,
Thank you for your donation, but you really shouldn't have! I've already made my goal and I know how it feels having that hanging over your head. I wanted to donate to you because I was really inspired by your dedication and motivation. I know you'll have a great race and make your goal!
