What’s it about
The longest I had run previously was a 10K race 15 years ago.
Since I started my formal training on October 9, 2011, I have logged 308+ miles with a longest run of 16 miles. I also completed my first half-marathon race in Macau in 1 hour and 55 minutes in December as part of my preparation.
In an effort to raise the "mental" stakes and ensure completion, I would like to ask you to consider a small donation to the Tsuagari-Nukumori Project on betterplace.org to make each stride a bit more rewarding.
Thank you in advance.
Brad
P.S. I am running as a designated Tsunagu (つなぐ) Charity donor to help promote and support the program (50% of this year's participants' contributions will be earmarked to fund projects aimed at the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake; and 50% to charities and not-for-profit organizations engaged in activities that fall under one of the five charity themes of the Tsunagu program. "Tsunagu" means "Connection" or "Solidarity" in Japanese.

Choki Traditional Art School: €2,995.00
Dear family, friends and colleagues,
Thank you all once again for your generous donations in support of my first marathon last year in Tokyo.
The first charity I selected (Tsunagari-Nukumori Project in Japan) has been fully funded through our contributions.
In order to fully disseminate the remaining contributions, I have selected another charity (Choki Traditional Art School in Bhutan). We will be providing aid to disadvantaged children who could not continue their education due to financial reasons as well as contributing to the preservation of Bhutan's cultural heritage. We will be funding tuition, food, lodging and solar water heating equipment.
