I feel extremely fortunate to be part of the United Against Poverty team and can tell you firsthand the tremendous impact your contributions have on our friends and neighbors who are struggling. More than 500 ambitious and hardworking individuals visit our St. Lucie UP Center each day-- not to receive a handout, but a hand UP so they can reach their full potential and, once and for all, break free from the dark and demoralizing cycle of poverty.
 

I am very passionate about this event and the difference in makes in St. Lucie County. It would mean a lot to me if you would consider making a gift of any amount to my page. As part of the team organizing this race, I withdraw myself from any top fundraiser prizes.
