Love it -- love the cause, love the running, love the pic of Daddy and Abbs getting warmed up together. You'll love running in Santa Cruz -- ocean view, lots of music along the way and you can treat yourself to a Mexican feast at the end (or at least a frosty Sierra Nevada). Miss you guys!!
Christy Chandler, Friend$100San Franicsco, CA03/06/2009
Good luck!! Thanks for asking!
Carla Cochrane, Mother in law$50Ventura, CA03/06/2009
Michael I will also donate $50. to Julie if I get an email from her if not I'll send another $50. to you. This is so great, I remember the 60 mile walks and how much they meant to me. I'm so glad to see my family participating in these things. Much love, Carla

Good luck! If I can do a half marathon (and actually enjoy it), this will be cake for you!

I realize this is probably a ruse to collect credit card information, but just in case, here's a piddly 25 bucks.

Michael - Thanks for raising $ for such a great cause and letting me contribute. From the picture, it looks like you have an inspiring training buddy there (not to mention adorable)! I miss hanging out but am optimistic that eventually Shondell and I will make it back to the Bay Area (to live!) and get to enjoy some of our favorite friends again. Good luck!

Mike have a great run. It's great that you're raising money for this cause. I have a listing in the Portola district right now so I'm in the area quite a bit if you want to go for a run -- or maybe just a beer since I'm out of shape. If you are ever in the Lafayette area give me a call.
George & Maureen Heuga, Dad & Mom$50Walnut Creek, CA04/17/2009
We are so proud of you. What an accomplishment. Keep up the good work. We'll be there to watch you start and finish. All our love and support, Dad & Mom
Shannon Cully, Friend$50Burlingame, CA04/17/2009
Good luck Michael. We are so impressed you are doing this. Shannon and Kevin

Congrats Mike; Rich thanks you for hanging with him most of the race - before blowing him away. I was out of the country, so here's some "better late than never." Nate

Goal

My goal is to convince myself that I'm not too old yet by running the Santa Cruz Half Marathon in April!

I chose this goal because

I've been running off and on for 15 or so years now, and I've always wondered if I could actually do a half marathon (13.1 miles). I ran 11 miles once over ten years ago, but that was at a time when I didn't have a job or a wife and child!

One nice side benefit of this campaign for me personally is it has motivated me to get out of bed a few mornings each week to go running, really improving how good I feel during the week. And hopefully in April I'll get to experience that feeling of accomplishing something that always seemed too difficult to accomplish...

I'm helping because

I was introduced to ATC a few years ago through my law firm, and I realized right away what an incredibly significant contribution ATC makes to our community.

For those teens and young adults living on the streets among us who lack the support of a family -- ATC helps to provide that support. They provide to these kids things like a non-judgmental ear for them to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, food and other supplies to get through the night, a P.O. Box to give to a potential employer, and warm clothes. ATC's "I Think I Can" campaign enables those of us fortunate enough to take these things for granted a mechanism for giving back. In these difficult economic times, it will only get tougher for those at the "bottom" of the ladder such as the kids being helped by ATC.

Thank you so much for your support.

About At The Crossroads

ATC walks the streets of San Francisco, reaching out to homeless youth and young adults on their turf. We work with young people who others have given up on, who would not get help without us. Since we started 13 years ago, we have worked with more than 5,000 youth, helping them build outstanding lives.

Updates

I finished! You can't see me in this picture, but that's me at the finish... Thanks to Brian and Rich (pictured above) for helping to motivate me for this run...
