26.2

The big day is HERE!.  You’ve covered hundreds of miles in training runs in wind, snow, sun and rain.  You’ve raised money online and offline–thousands of dollars–for almost 100 nonprofit organizations.  You may have worn out a pair of shoes or two.  Your family and friends are supporting you.  And on Monday morning, you’ll step across the starting line in Hopkinton and arrive several hours later at the finish line in Copley Square.

To all our 2009 Boston Marathon fundraisers, we salute you!  You have worked so hard, and we are inspired by your online fundraising success.

We’re athletes and fundraisers like you.  Team Firstgiving’s own Beth L. and Mark are running, and Beth P. will be at the finish line.  If you see us, please stop and say “hi!”
