Hi friends!

Exactly two weeks from this very moment, I will be preparing to cross the starting line of the Boston Marathon, months of hard work about to pay off. And this summer, hundreds of villagers will line up to sign a covenant with buildOn, agreeing to build the very first school in their village, the promise of education for their families lighting the smiles on their faces. What momentous occasions.

Three months ago, I set out with the goal of running for four hours straight and raising $5,500 and you all, my friends and family, have gotten me 91% of the way there. We've raised $4,995!!! I cannot thank you enough! (And if you were wondering, the running for four hours thing was a piece of cake!)

But now with only fourteen days until the gun goes off, we still have $505 to go! I'm asking you all to help one last time to meet this goal. Please forward my fundraising website to your family, friends, coworkers and acquaintances because as you know every donation COUNTS!

buildOn's mission to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education is an incredibly important one and I hope you can help share it. If each of you incredible donors can get just one additional person to give $20, we will meet our goal!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart again for your generosity and your contribution -- please forward this on if you can!

Running with love,
Steph

Dear Aunt Linda,

Thank you so much for your generous donation to buildOn for my Boston Marathon endeavor! I've been training hard and can't wait for the run on April 16th.

buildOn is a fantastic organization and I've seen firsthand the impact of our work around the world. Hundreds of children and adults gain an education at each of our 430 schools worldwide, so I couldn't be happier to run these 26.2 miles and raise money to build another!

Thanks again for your support, Linda - I appreciate it so much!
