Welcome to Margaret's NYC Marathon Gang
I finally joined a GANG!!! And you can join me!!
In order to understand my gang membership, let’s take a step back.
This year I wanted to do something crazy! Being part of a gang wasn’t really what I had in mind. At first, I was going for something simple like jumping out of a plane or bungie jumping. Been there, done that… BORING!! While getting lunch with a co-worker, I saw Barclays was offering the opportunity to match fundraising efforts in order to complete the 2019 NYC Marathon. I would never considered myself much of a runner, I am more of a really fast walker for short people.
The charity I would be running for is The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. It was originally was founded in 1988 by Paul Newman with one simple premise in mind: to provide opportunities for children with serious illnesses to experience the transformational spirit and friendships that go hand-in-hand with camp. With this in mind, the camp is dedicated to providing “a different kind of healing” to seriously ill children and their families throughout the Northeast, free of charge. Knowing that I could actually contribute my time to a really good cause and energy (literally), I said, “Why not!” Plus, I get to check off 2 bucket list items, 1) joining a gang 2) running the NY Marathon for a really good cause! Check..check!!
So how can you join me? I’m glad you asked! The fundraising goal is $3,500.
