Dear family and friends,

As many of you may know, running has quickly become a passion of mine. Throughout the past year I have been blessed with the health to run a half marathon, an unbelievable experience both physically and emotionally. The encouragement of my family has instilled in me the commitment of continued health. I feel fortunate to have participated in local community events, and am excited to take part in future opportunities of donation.

Recently, I was offered an amazing opportunity to run in the 2011 ING NYC Marathon. This incredible prospect came from a relative that works for Children's Museum of Manhattan (CMOM). Not only do I feel privileged to be considered to run this race, I feel honored to run on behalf of CMOM. CMOM provides excellent educational opportunities for children of all backgrounds, and has been doing so for over thirty years. CMOM utilizes free workshops to reach out to children and families throughout the New York City area and beyond.

Please join me in contributing to this worthy cause.

Sincerely,
-Lars
