I just wanted to let you know that the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary still has a few numbers available for the Boston Marathon. We are trying to finalize our team and still have a few spots left! Could you please pass this along to your members?
The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary is excited to have been selected as an official charity by John Hancock Financial Services, the lead sponsor of the Boston Marathon, to receive 60 invitational marathon entries for the 112th running of the Boston Marathon, which will be held on Monday, April 21, 2008. An invitational entry allows participation in the Boston Marathon without having met the official time requirements. Each runner who receives an invitational entry will become a member of Team Eye and Ear and will be required to raise a minimum of $3,000 to support the efforts of MEEI and help fund hope for others.
Benefits that Team Eye and Ear members enjoy include a weekly training program through FitCorp, team celebratory events and the opportunity to meet famed running legend, Bill Rodgers.
I have attached a runner application packet to this email.
Any interested runners should contact me, the Special Events Coordinator, Kristina Sym, at 617-573-6364 or email Kristina_Sym@... as soon as possible, as spots are quickly filling up!
