Running barefoot, that is!



My office has a team that is raising money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. There will be a local event (a walk) that I won't be able to attend this fall because I'll be in Germany again. I decided I had to do something to make people want to give me money (other than just for a worthy cause), so I am challenging myself to run 100 total miles barefoot between now and October 24th. While that's not a lot for some, it will require some major dedication on my part. I think this will be a great way to raise money and to bring awareness to two different "causes" breast cancer and barefoot running. I'm working on getting a shirt right now that I can use for my runs that has the BRS logo on the front and "Running Bare for Breast Cancer" on the back. I have a handful of people already that have agreed to donate and/or sponsor me. I will definitely keep you all updated on how it goes.

If you want to donate per mile, just let me know how much, and I will give you a total in October. If you want to make a lump sum donation, you can do that online at

I am just keeping a list of people who are sponsoring per mile. My plan is to set up a Facebook page so I can keep everyone updated.
