The Mercedes Marathon and Half Marathon in February is the Bell Center's largest fundraiser of the year. They have a program called Partners in Training (PIT) where individuals or relay teams are paired up with a child and run in honor of that child. They receive lots of nutrition and running tips, and even train together. Each runner or team sets a goal to raise $100 per mile that goes directly to the Bell Center. I was so excited to learn that Bevin Keene, a friend I cheered with in High School, was a volunteer and PIT relay runner and chose to run the Marathon in honor of Maggie! So special! I had planned on emailing friends and family about helping in their fundraising efforts, but after our AMAZING fundraiser surprise in November put on by our friends, I didn't feel right asking for donations. But, I really want to help Bevin and her relay team reach their goal and since the funds they raise go directly to the Bell Center (not for Maggie), I thought I would post the link to their fundraising site. If you feel led, I know they would appreciate your support...big or small. I'm so thankful to them for all they do for the Bell Center!
