My Personal Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the Making Strides for Special Kids 5K Run/Walk!

Hi my friends and family, Bill and I are at it again, raising much needed funds for the most amazing and special kids that I have had the privilege of knowing in my career. We will be walking in September rain or shine to support this great organization. We are so grateful for all the support we have received in the past few years, we're hoping you will be able to continue your support. Large or small donations make such a difference, good thoughts and support are also so very much welcome.

We're once again participating in this event to raise funds for Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL), a cooperative educational system working with school districts throughout the county to serve students who are facing physical, emotional, and other learning challenges. These funds will be used to directly enrich the educational, vocational, and social opportunities for children with disabilities in Lake County. I have seen firsthand how much SEDOL students and their families need our help and I know what a direct and meaningful impact we can provide. Taking care of the members of our community who are most in need is a responsibility that we all share and one that I am personally committed to.

Donating to the SEDOL Foundation and supporting my participation in this event is simple, fast, and completely secure, and it is also the most effective way to support my fundraising efforts. You can make a donation to my personal fundraising page, or participate in the event as an individual or as a team and help raise funds yourself. And don’t forget to forward the link to anyone who you believe would be interested in supporting this wonderful event.

On behalf of the students and families at SEDOL, thank you for your support!

Mary and Bill
