Dear Marisa, I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to run in the 2012 Boston Marathon on the Mass General Marathon Team, Fighting Kids’ Cancer…One Step at a Time. Congratulations and welcome to the team!
— BAM. Friends, open your wallets (and strap on your shoes for a training run with me!)—my legs will run hundreds of miles in preparation and I’ve got to raise $5,000. Many, many more posts to come.
