Hello neighbors! My name is Rachel Johnson and I am walking the San Diego marathon in June for the American Stroke Association. I'm going to "represent the Broadlands". By joining the American Stroke Association’s Train To End Stroke program I have a coach, a team, training schedules, clinics, and a reason that makes this more than a personal goal. I am helping to raise funds for stroke research, education, and advocacy programs.
The following are some stroke statistics of which you may not be aware...
Every 45 seconds someone suffers a stroke
Every 3.1 minutes someone dies of a stroke
There are 4.4 million stroke survivors
29% of people who have strokes are under age 65.
Over the course of the next 5 months, I will be walking hundreds of miles through Ashburn to prepare. I will also be busy raising thousands of dollars for the American Stroke Association. I am writing to ask for your support in this effort through your good thoughts and through your generous contribution to the American Stroke Association.
Even if you are not able to contribute financially for this cause, please spread the statistics provided to increase awareness, and watch out for me on the roads and trails :D All donations are tax deductible and the ratio is 70/30 - for every dollar raised, 70 cents goes to direct research and outreach, 30 cents toward the marathon.
Hopefully this link will take you to my webpage where I will be logging my progress and fundraising goals. Thanks all, and see you around the 'hood!
