Shannon will be running in the ING New York City Marathon!!

The Marathon takes place on Sunday, November 6th. Shannon has never been one to set small goals. This is an enormous undertaking for a beginner runner but Shannon will give it all she has.

Shannon will be running for http://www.teamforkids.org/::NYRR Foundation: Team for Kids::Learn more about Team for Kids ::. Team for Kids helps underserved kids fight obesity and develop their bodies, minds, and spirits. The Foundation provides fitness programs for 15,000 children who otherwise would have little or no access to physical education.

Congratulations to Shannon who ran her first 1/2 marathon this past weekend at the Jacksonville Marine Corps 1/2 Marathon.

Shannon said "It was a great experience! I have always wanted to run a marathon but never really thought I could do it. I haven't been running long but it feels good to have a goal and go after it. I may not be the fastest runner out there but I love the satisfaction of crossing the finish line knowing I've succeeded. Now that i have completed a 1/2 Marathon I am ready to go for my next goal...the New York City Marathon!"

This weekend Shannon will be running the Jacksonville Marine Corps Half Marathon. This marathon provides needed funding to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund. This fund was established to provide scholarships to children of soldiers killed in the and wars. If you are in the area come join me, I’m not an avid runner so I’ll need all the help I can get to cross the finish line.
