I want to try and run this year’s NYC Marathon on November 2, 2008, but the problem is multifaceted - logistical (travel costs) and even more important, unless you run for charity, you are not guaranteed entry into the race. I’d like to run for charity, specifically an NYC-based cancer research charity (Fred’s Team), but I need to raise $5,000. I will have more info to come, but if you guys know of possible donors I can reach out to who would want to support me helping the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Center, specifically the Aubrey Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research, please let me know.

UPDATE

It looks like I have to register for the NYC Marathon first, then through the lottery and my joining Fred’s Team for cancer research, I am guaranteed a spot. Registration for the NYC Marathon is $200, so if anyone would like to donate to a good cause, head on over to Paypal. I have until May 26th.
