Long-time Health for Humanity member Jim Ferguson recently completed the Portland Marathon and asked friends and family to sponsor his run for Health for Humanity. Below is Jim just after the St. Johns Bridge approaching the mile 18 mark along the 26.2 mile course. Way to go Jim!
Sponsorships, of a run, walk, or any kind of event, are a great way to raise awareness and funds for Health for Humanity. For more information, or if you would like assistance in developing a sponsorship program for your special event, please contact Amy Puliafito, Development Coordinator at apuliafito@healthforhumanity.org.
Someone sent me an e-mail asking about the blue tape on my legs–>it is “kinesiotape”. Athletes use it over sore muscles, shins, etc. I used it to run the marathon and actually found it helpful. Seems as though my shins were not as sore. Of course, one fellow marathoner (there were over 8,000 running the marathon) asked if it helped and I responded affirmatively but that everywhere else on my body not covered with kinesiotape was sore….:-) She told me I should have wrapped myself up like a mummy……..:-)
Peace,
Jim
