Hi!
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for the 2017 Challenge Aspen marathon. When I turned 29 this past September, I created my 30x30--a list of 30 things I wanted to accomplish during the last year of my 20s. Wouldn't you know it, running my first marathon and visiting a new country both made the list. So when I learned that Challenge Aspen had selected the Reykjavik marathon for its annual marathon fundraiser, I knew I could not let the opportunity pass me by. Not only could I check two items off my 30x30 list, but I could also raise money for a good cause at the same time.
For those who are not familiar with the organization, Challenge Aspen is a nonprofit organization located in Snowmass, Colorado. Challenge Aspen's mission is to provide those with physical and other challenges the opportunity to experience recreational sports like downhill and cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, swimming, gymnastics, hiking, and fishing. To learn more about Challenge Aspen, visit challengeaspen.org.
To participate in the Reykjavik marathon, I need to raise $3,950. All of that money goes to Challenge Aspen to cover the costs of the event, support its programs, and give others the opportunity to experience the recreational opportunities that the Roaring Fork Valley has to offer. Any donation you may make is tax deductible. I appreciate your helping me achieve my goals and supporting a worthwhile organization in the process. Feel free to call or e-mail me if you have questions about Challenge Aspen or the marathon.
Thanks for your support,
Haley
