Help George raise money

Hello, happy post-marathon recovery week.  The marathon was fun but quite a challenge - lol.  The most difficult marathon I've run for sure.  I ended up with a 3:58 which I'm satisfied with.  I was hoping for something in the 3:40s but perhaps a bit unrealistic and perhaps I went out too fast.  Thank you so much to the American Cancer Society cheer groups out there.  So nice to see smiling faces when you're struggling out there.  :-).   

I was a late add to ACS this year not knowing what combination of marathons and which charities I will be running for.   I'd like to help ACS get to their goal of $60k for Pittsburgh and I know they are damn close.   They do an amazing job managing this whole process.   Thank Emma and Ramon and Paul for this.  

Personally, I'm excited by any contribution whether it's $2.22 or a lot more.

Cancer has taken too many people from all of us, way too soon.  In my family I run for my Aunt Louise (brain & lung cancer), my step-dad Tom Campeau (pancreatic cancer), and way too many friends and family that are battling or have had to fight less aggressive cancer diagnosis.  

I am planning a fund raising campaign for ALS very soon and I'm a late marathon add so this campaign will be short and sweet with your help!  Every $ is appreciated by the ACS and me.  It's been an interesting running journey over the last decade but I've certainly gotten a bit faster and feel good about the race Sunday!   Thanks for listening and donating!  Very appreciated!    

p.s. I would love to send thank you the old fashioned way via a card and mail if you send me your address.
