Previously I have written about the challenge that The Running Griffin and Mrs. Running Griffin went through when Mrs. RG was admitted to Tufts Medical Center with severe preeclampsia, lived there for 7 weeks and then gave birth to our daughter Cailin at just 33 weeks when she weighed 2 lbs. 13 oz. Some people might think running a marathon is tough but after going through a medical ordeal like this, 26.2 miles is just putting one foot in front of the other.

Last year, we ran the Boston Marathon together to raise funds for the Ace Bailey Children’s Foundation. Founded after former Boston Bruin Ace Bailey died in the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the Ace Bailey Children’s Foundation raises money to benefit the NICU at Floating Hospital for Children in Boston where Cailin received amazing care!

This year, Mrs. Running Griffin is hitting the Hopkinton to Boston trail again for the 2013. Boston Marathon and again is raising funds for the Ace Bailey Children’s Foundation. You can donate online by clicking here.

As part of the fundraising, what better way than to donate to a great cause and get a good 3 week workout challenge in, as well. Join The Running Griffin and Reno Race Promotion for the Sweat for a Cause Get Fit for Floating Challenge. For just a $10 donation, you can burn calories by running, doing situps and/or doing squats. Compete against your group of friends and track your results all while supporting the Ace Bailey Children’s Foundation.
