It is that time of the year again!!! The start of Ramadan is right around the corner and as many of you may know, I observe a fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 consecutive days. Yes, no food or water!!! This year will be trickier as I am now in the part of the world where the temperature is in the high 80’s and 90% humidity. Yes, I am crazy! ?

This year, I will be running/walking my 4th Fasting 5K on Saturday May 18th with some friends (whom I kindly coerced?) in the great city of Hong Kong.  As I won’t be back in Boston with many of my friends and families that are also fasting and partaking in this great event, I have decided to raise money for the Boston chapter and all proceeds will go to the respective charity.

This year, F5K is focused on partnering with various beneficiaries all over North America to support projects assisting youth with disabilities.  The Boston community partnered with a local charity to promote genuine inclusiveness for youth with disabilities.  The charity, Empowerment Through Integration (ETI), promotes the achievement of a genuinely inclusive society through the recognition and elimination of stigma against disability, acknowledging and rejecting bias, and elevating respect for individual value.  With 9 Cities in North America and 10 charities supporting 1 great cause, we can make a change and support our friends, family, loved ones, etc. to live an equal and excellent life they deserve.

So the part I need your help.  Last year, I put a pretty large goal of $4,000 and with all of the love and support, I was able to raise a little over $4,000 and was the #1 Fundraiser in all of Boston.  I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of my family, friends, and Bemis family and I truly appreciate all of you that donated last year and encourage you to do it again because…This year again, I am raising the bar even higher! I need your love and support to help me reach my new goal of $5,000. Anything helps and remember, even a little goes a long way...

Support me this year and please share with your family and friends!

Remember, Hong Kong…IT’S HOT OUT HERE!!!
