subject: Run For Charlotte
I am writing this in hopes that you can spread the word about the 4th annual Run For Charlotte. This is a USATF certified 5 and 10K road race taking place in Braintree on April 27th. This is a great race with lots of food and beer, live entertainment, and award ceremony to follow. There will also be a children's area with games and prizes.
Prayers for Charlotte is a non-profit organization that raises money for research and families fighting cancer. This race is held in memory of my brave five-year-old niece, Charlotte Rose Kelly, who lost her battle to cancer. If you could help to spread the word in any way we would be forever grateful.
Sincerely,
Mary Beth DeCoste
Thought for the week:

Have a great week of running
