Tom’s Annual HALF MARATHON CHALLENGE, 2010
What’s the 2010 Half Marathon Challenge?
Tom will run a half (13.1 miles) marathon on October 3, 2010. He will again train this summer injury free (knock on wood). In these tough economic times, Tom still believes The Arc needs this Challenge Run more than ever. Tom finished the 13.1 mile Brooksie’s Way Half Marathon last October in 2 hours, 15 minutes and 50 seconds. He raised a little over $11,000 (gross) — you will be able to make a contribution beginning this July when the new flyer goes out in the mail.
Our Executive Director, Tom Kendziorski, over the years has raised funds through his long-distance running for The Arc of Oakland County. It started many years ago running the 8 mile course on Mackinac Island, then he moved up to the Chicago Marathon (26.2 miles) for seven consecutive years, and in 2008 and 2009 he ran the inaugural and 2nd annual Brooksie’s Way Half Marathon in Rochester, Michigan. All tolled, he has raised over $125,000 in this effort.
The Arc of Oakland County is celebrating 43 years of helping families and persons with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. To commemorate this organizational achievement, we requested a donation of $43 to support Tom in his quest of completing the 3rd Annual Brooksie Way on October 3, 2010.
You can still help by making a donation of $13.10, $26.20, (or multiples thereof such as: $52.40, $78.60, $104.80, and so on …). Actually, any amount of a donation is most appreciated!
