I am so excited to announce a project that I’ve been working on with YA author, Susan Dennard (Something Strange and Deadly) for the past month.
You see, I longed for a motivation to run and I was also itching to do something good for someone other than myself so I combined the two, asked Susan if she was interested, and here we are today.
On July 19, 2014 I’m running my first 5K. I’d like you to be beside me if you can in Philly. If you can’t a virtual run works too. I’d like you to not only think about your wellness but others as well and donate in any way you can. Financially, to First Book OR by donating your books to 1) The Free Library of Philadelphia 2) Our YA Runs A 5K project as we bring it full circle and give away books to those participating as our thanks. We’re also auctioning off books and critiques as our fund for Team t-shirts for those running and any funds leftover once we order the t-shirts will go to First Book. So let’s do it. Let’s come together and run for wellness!
Click the appropriate hyperlinks for details on running, donating, and books/critiques up for grabs as we give back in more ways than one.
HUGE THANK YOU to Susan Dennard, and all of the agents, authors, and bloggers for your support! I am beyond overwhelmed with the amount of support even before the launch! I can only imagine what’s ahead! Thank you!
Update:
Thank you so much Publishing Crawl and Reading Teen for posting on your blogs and spreading the word! Thanks to everyone who has tweeted as well!
