Support Team Hole in the Wall at NYC Marathon on Nov 3rd

Team Hole in the Wall will  run at the NYC Marathon on November 3rd.  We participate in races to raise money for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, which was founded by Paul Newman in 1988 for children facing serious, long-term illnesses.  The Camp started at a single location in Ashford, CT and has expanded across the US and abroad to host over 350,000 children and family members.  Newman had a vision of creating a place where children could escape the serious conditions of everyday life for a week of play and laughter.  I’ve met many parents whose children experienced the magic healing of the Camp and can attest to how important that time was for their children.  You can get a glimpse of the environment created for kids staying at the Camps in this brief clip - http://www.holeinthewallgang.org/Page.aspx?pid=471.

Our Team motto is "Run Inspired", which we are prepared to do for 26.2 miles for the Camp kids in just two more weeks. You can support the Camp through my Team page at http://events.teamholeinthewall.org/nycmarathon2013/mikefinn44.

Please accept my sincere appreciation for any support you can provide.
