A break from cars for a moment: A goal for charity..

Our oldest daughter Sierra is doing a cool thing.. On April 28th (2024), she's running in the Big Sur International Marathon (Big Sur, CA).. She's bitten off quite a chunk here, as she's new to running, and a full marathon is 26.2 miles.

To help her train, be held accountable, and meet her marathon goal, she's teamed up with an outfit called "Team in Training" (TNT). This is a very cool organization that helps people train and accomplish their goal of running a full marathon while raising money to help fight Leukemia & Lymphoma.. My wife Lisa (Sierra's mom) did this with TNT back in 2005 shortly after losing her mother to cancer (The pic below shows Lisa holding her mom's picture in her left hand at the finish line).. Cancer sucks, but programs like this are making a difference.

Sierra's all-in: For the last many months she's been training and fundraising, which requires her to raise at least $2500.00 for the charity. She's a broke kid, but we've assured her that the donations will come.. the support will come.. the success will come; to borrow a phrase; Just do it!

She's down to the last few weeks; the running is going well, but she is in an absolute panic that she's not going to make the minimum donations required. As of today (4-15), she's $700 short.. I told her I'd give this a bump on our car building site to help her get to her fundraising finish line.. (I'm posting it to all of my build logs)..

If you're able and would like to support her, be it sending good vibes or a monetary donation, she would be most grateful. To be clear, all of the money she raises will go to TNT. Below is a link to her fundraising page..
