Help Toshio raise money

Running is a big part of my life: I have been running on the Lexington High School varsity Cross Country and Track & Field teams and I also have been volunteering for two years at Team Verge as a running buddy. Team Verge is an inclusive organization that provides less privileged youth and young adults the opportunity to challenge themselves, connect with a community, and improve their overall health and wellbeing through inclusive community-based training programs for all abilities. 

Personally, volunteering for Team Verge has been an extremely rewarding experience. It has brought me lots of joy seeing participants experience the same mental, social, and physical benefits of running that so many of us take for granted. It is also gratifying seeing them have fun while expanding their limits as well as knowing that I could help make an impact on their lives by providing social and moral support and assistance in completing exercises. 

This summer, Team Verge is hosting a fundraiser to raise money and spread awareness by running at the Falmouth Road Race, an extremely popular 7-mile race that takes place in August every year. My goal is to raise $1000 for Team Verge and I’m hoping you can help me achieve this. Through your help in fundraising, Verge will be able to expand its program so more runners can participate and experience the same opportunities, memories, and joy prior runners experienced in the past! Any amount is greatly appreciated!

I am extremely excited to run at the Falmouth Road Race and benefit such an amazing organization. Thank you in advance and I hope you will be a part of this cause. A little effort goes a long way!
