Hi everyone,

After reading Half the Sky, I knew I wanted to do some type of fundraiser for one of the organizations that Nick and Sheryl highlighted. I've always been passionate about equity in education, so I was particularly motivated by the data and examples they provided in regards to the importance of educating girls. When I found out that Camfed was one of the charity partners for the NYC Marathon, I knew it was a perfect fit!

On November 7, 2010, I'll be running 26.2 miles throughout the 5 boroughs of NYC to raise $2,620 -- $100 for every mile -- for Camfed. If you were inspired by the story of Ann and Angeline, please support me by visiting www.firstgiving.org/kmshill and making a donation! If I can get 100 people to contribute $1 per mile, or just $26.20, I will meet my goal!

Thank you!!
Kristin
