I'm running a marathon to benefit PresentTense

I have signed up to run the Chicago Marathon, taking place on Sunday, October 13th.  I plan to run the 26.2 miles in four hours; this is about 25 minutes faster than my first Marathon!  My training schedule covers 360 miles, includes at least three days a week for running and requires cross training in between.   I ran my first marathon in 2012, and I promised myself that if I ever ran one again, it would be for a special cause.   My goal is to raise at least $2500 for PresenTense.

PresenTense Invests in People: innovators, entrepreneurs, community leaders, educators, and thinkers.  They support and are supported by hundreds of volunteers and community members around the world, and they rely on your donations to make those investments possible. Learn More

Why PresenTense?

While working at The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, I coordinated the launch of the DC PresenTense Fellowship in 2012. Currently I train new Fellows, as a PresenTense Social Start Trainer.  I have experienced first-hand how PresenTense programs empower individuals with new ideas for social change to make a difference in their local communities.
