Jeff is running the 2017 MCM w/ RunningBrooke.org

So I've decided to run the 2017 Marine Corps Marathon with Boooke Curran's RunningBrooke.org foundation.  Here's some detail below on the great work her charity does.

*******************************************************************************************

Join me to get kids moving and spark their learning and success during 2017! You are making a difference and I (and the kids!) appreciate your support.

Just this year, you will make the following happen for Alexandria’s kids: 

-       Playground court renovation in “play desert” of Alexandria where thousands of kids literally don’t have a safe place to get outside, socialize and be active

-       An Educational Summit where we’ll empower educators and community leaders and give key concepts and tools to serve their youth in a stronger way

-       Organize and fund local community partners and extra curricular organizations to combine movement and learning into their plans and curriculum

We know that 2-out-of 3 of our kids don’t get the recommended daily activity of 60 minutes a day.  We also know that 30% of our kids don’t pass their 3rd grade tests, an important indicator of future success, and that the most at risk are our underserved students, 36% of whom live below the poverty rate, and especially vulnerable to failure.

This means a lot to me, and it will sure mean a lot to them. Thanks so much for your support!
