Run for Mobility Newsletter

"Run for Mobility" Newsletter ISSUE 4

January 5, 2006

How Are We Doing?
We are off to a great start! During the last three months of 2005 we raised enough to provide 900 wheelchairs! We've been rockin and rollin but the finish line is ahead of us yet.

Grab another Gatorade! The fundraising gurus at Active.com tell us that most of the fundraising for an event like this happens during the last 4 weeks before the race. Time to hydrate!

Stay tuned to our website as we help you with your personal webpages, fundraising ideas, and success stories of other fundraisers.

"Wheels Around the World"
All are invited to attend the pre-race dinner on Feb 3, and it's an evening you don't want to miss. The celebrities will be inspiring, the dress is casual, the food outstanding, and IT WILL BE FUN!

Fundraiser of the Week: Tori Coyle

You already know that you meet the most interesting people when you get involved with organizations like Free Wheelchair Mission. People who selflessly do things for others are such a joy to meet and be around. We're looking forward to seeing Don Schoendorfer, Founder of Free Wheelchair Mission, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, and Peggy Fleming at our upcoming "Wheels Around the World" pre-race dinner. Here's another person with passion whom we can look forward to meeting. Tori Coyle.

Tori is flying in from Dallas to run the Marathon. It will be her 12th. Of these 12 marathons, she's only run two on her own without a cause. She was involved with "Fred's Team" through Memorial Sloan Kettering (Pediatric Cancer) in NYC for three years and is joining the "Michael J. Fox Team" (Parkinsons) in NY next fall. Last spring she ran the LA Marathon for "Breast Care and Cancer Research Fund" after finding out her best friend had breast cancer. She's always looking for a passion and a "reason" to run.

After reading about "Run for Mobility" and talking with our Race Event Manager, she was so touched by this cause and this mission, that she signed up as a fundraiser. As she says, "I'm so glad to only be a flight away from making a difference." We welcome Tori to the almost 300 other fundraisers who've signed up to "make a difference".
