You can still help! Please support Team Kitten Rescue by clicking "DONATE"  today. Your donation is tax-deductible.   What is Kitten Rescue?  Kitten Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that was founded in 1997, and that has now grown into one of the most respected animal welfare groups in Los Angeles. Each year, our volunteers place over 1,000 cats and dogs into new homes. Since our inception, we have placed over 10,000 animals into loving homes! [To see where the cats we save come from, please click here.]   Who are our volunteers? Kitten Rescue is comprised of dedicated volunteers who devote much of their time to helping homeless animals, while juggling their own families, jobs, and lives as best as they can! At any given time you may find them bottle feeding orphaned kittens, nursing sick dogs and cats to health, visiting high-kill shelter to save whoever possible, running back and forth to veterinary clinics, trapping feral cats for spay/neuter, feeding feral cats, taming feral kittens, rehabilitating animals with behavioral issues, taking foster animals to adoption events, or delivering animals to their forever homes.   Why sponsor Team Kitten Rescue? Because you will be helping save the lives of cats and dogs who would otherwise not have a chance. Kitten Rescue relies on donations from the public to save the animals and pay for their veterinary care. The more money we raise, the more lives we can save! So please sponsor Team Kitten Rescue today. If you know one of our team members, you can donate directly on his/her individual crowdrise page, and the amount will reflect on this page as well. Since we are a 501c3, donations made to Kitten Rescue are tax-deductible.   Why join Team Kitten Rescue?  Because the animals need you! If you walk or run the marathon for Team Kitten Rescue, you will be able to raise money to save the lives of homeless cats and dogs. And if this will be your first marathon, we assure you that it will be an incredibly rewarding and transformational experience. So it's a win-win for you and the animals. And no experience is necessary! So whether you are a seasoned marathoner or a couch potato who has never exercised, we would love to have you on our team. And for added fun, we'll have PRIZES for all team members!   For more information, please go to our website at www.kittenrescue.org/LAMarathon or e-mail us directly at TeamKittenRescue@yahoo.com   =^..^=   ON BEHALF OF THE HOMELESS CATS AND DOGS WHO YOU WILL BE HELPING SAVE, WE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!     Hide

Cancer research is a cause that is close to my heart. In May 2009, I lost my 37-year-old brother to a brain tumor that he had been fighting courageously for more than a decade. The following day, I had planned on running and serving as the Grand Marshal for the 5K Race for Hope in Washington, D.C. to help benefit Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure (ABC2).  I knew my brother would have wanted me to continue this race so I ran that day in honor of him and all of those suffering from cancer. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. Next year, I’ll be running the 2012 Honda LA Marathon for Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. This will be a challenging race, but one accomplishment I will be incredibly proud of and honored to do. Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure has awarded over $15 million to fund brain tumor and brain cancer research. They invest in high-risk, high-reward research in each stage of the therapeutic development pipeline. Their Pre-Clinical Screening Program breaks down barriers to entry, their research grants focus on novel therapies, and their investments with companies allow us to bring the most promising treatments to patients quickly.   Please join me in the fight against cancer by supporting ABC2. You can click the DONATE button above. Any amount is appreciated and WILL make a real difference. Even better, JOIN THE TEAM and help me fundraise. Share your team member page with all of your friends and ask for their support.  Let’s make this cause viral. It starts with YOU. Thank you, David Rules - Win a Skype Session with David Cook Hide

  Welcome to Team Life without Lupus, the official west coast division of Team Life without Lupus.  We are honored to be an official charity of the LA Marathon and look forward to working with you to raise funds and awareness for lupus.  Our team provides athletes with an opportunity to make new friends and reach their health and fitness goals while helping others in the community.  In exchange for training and support, you help raise money towards critical patient services in the Greater Los Angeles area.  You can help families cope with this disease as we work towards a cure.   How serious is lupus? Someone is diagnosed with lupus every 30 minutes, generally after 4-5 years of suffering from symptoms.   Lupus affects more than 1.5 million Americans.  In fact, more Americans have lupus than AIDS, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, or cystic fibrosis, making it one of this country's most prevalent medical problems. Ninety percent of those diagnosed with lupus are women, and the onset of the disease usually occurs during childbearing age, between the ages of l5 and 44.  African American women are three times more likely to get lupus than white women.  It is also more common among Hispanic/Latina, Asian and American Indian women. Lupus is a leading cause of kidney disease, stroke and premature cardiovascular disease in young women.  However, lupus also strikes children, men and older adults.    By joining our Team Life without Lupus, you will help raise money to provide critical patient services for people with lupus throughout Southern California. Perks for Team Life without Lupus runners include: - personalized instruction from an expert runner; - weekly team training runs; - team kickoff and victory celebrations; - and the satisfaction knowing that you’re training for a purpose— providing critical patient services for people with lupus in your community Not a runner?

Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County (GOTRLA) is dedicated to educating and preparing girls in 3rd through 8th grades for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Using an interactive curriculum, certified volunteer coaches facilitate the twice-weekly afterschool sessions that combine the power of physical activity with important lessons to strengthen girls’ physical, social and emotional development. The 12-week season culminates in a non-competitive 5k run/walk.  Seeing them cross the finish line is empowerment in action – they prove to themselves that they can do anything!  Through a deep commitment to social justice, GOTRLA offers supportive role models, positive lessons and physical activity at a critical time when girls often face negative pressures of how to behave, look and think.  It is much more than a running program; GOTRLA is nutrition for the body, mind and soul, and works to instill a sense of confidence in girls that will take them into adolescence and beyond, ready to take on the world. Join our 2012 LA Marathon team to raise funds that will help us inspire LA girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices, recognize their gifts, and activate their power! How it Works: If you join us as an official team member, we ask that you commit to raising a minimum of $500.  And we'll be there every step of the way with you, offering fundraising tools, energizing team support, and connections to the girls who will inspire you to go further than you ever imagined you could!  Once you have officially joined the team by making or raising a commitment donation of $50, we'll send you a cool team technical shirt for you to wear while you're training, and in the marathon.  As you reach higher fundraising levels, we will offer other exciting incentives. The first 25 fundraisers who raise $1000 will have access to our exclusive marathon morning VIP suite at Dodger Stadium.  This means a warm, comfy place to hang out before the marathon, and most importantly, no waiting in line for the bathroom (and it's a nice bathroom too)! NEW Charity 2-Person Marathon option!  Run Half the Distance! We have a few slots available for the new charity 2-person marathon option.  The only way to register for this is by sending an email to: christine@gotrlosangeles.org.  DO NOT register through the LA Marathon registration page--if you do, you will be registered for the full marathon, and registrations are not transferrable.  For more information on the charity 2-person marathon, go to: http://www.lamarathon.com/charities/2-person-marathon/ Hide

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital strives to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. It is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance, and no child is ever denied treatment because of the family’s inability to pay. St. Jude has developed protocols that have helped push overall survival rates for childhood cancers from less than 20 percent when the hospital opened in 1962 to 80 percent today.  St. Jude depends on donors to ensure that no child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay. In addition: It costs $1.7 million a day to operate St. Jude, and public donations provide more than 70 percent of funding. Most of the funding for protocols is not covered by insurance. St. Jude covers those costs along with other costs a family typically incurs while their child is being treated at the hospital – this includes travel, housing and food. St. Jude maintains a school program to provide opportunities for patients to continue their normal educational activities. St. Jude was the first pediatric cancer research institution to place doctors, scientists and patients "all under one roof," creating a worldwide model for "bench-to-bedside" research and treatment of childhood cancers and other life-threatening diseases. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world. St. Jude was the first institution to develop a cure for sickle cell disease with a bone marrow transplant and has one of the largest pediatric sickle cell programs in the country. Research findings at St. Jude are shared freely with doctors and scientists all over the world. Dr. Michael DeBakey, a pioneer in the development of the artificial heart, said that "a child saved at St. Jude means a thousand children saved elsewhere." Please help us continue to fight childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases by donating to St. Jude. OFFICIAL PROFILES: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube Hide
