Hello Everyone!
It's May, and we are already well into planning for our February 21, 2010, 26.2 With Donna. But before we tell you about some exciting news for next year, I want to fill you in on this year's numbers and what you were able to accomplish.
Our final fundraising numbers are in and they are beautiful! The 2009 26.2 With Donna raised a grand total of 708,095 dollars!! What's more amazing to me is that, in this economy, our runners themselves raised more than 237,000 dollars! As you know, we don't make fundraising mandatory for this race. Your entrance fee gets you in. But many still chose to fundraise and they did an amazing job. As always, when you run with us, you know exactly where the proceeds are going. Seventy percent goes to life saving breast cancer research at the Mayo Clinic, and 30 percent to The Donna Foundation to help those living with the disease right now.

During the "offseason" when there is not a goal event on the calendar, it is easy to slack off. Don't feel bad about this; even world class athletes have days when they don't feel like exercising. On days when you feel more stress, your left brain will send you a series of excuses.
