Dear Friend,
 My
4th running of the Boston Marathon will be a very personal journey, as well
as an opportunity to help children. August of 2006 I was stricken with
Paget-Schroetter Syndrome, a relatively uncommon condition causing a total
shut down of my vein. After 4 months of being in and out of hospitals,
surgery at Johns Hopkins, and 3 months of rehab, I am now training for this
year’s Boston Marathon.
To share my fortune of good health, I am supporting a local charity, Youth
Enhancement Services (Y.E.S), a non-profit corporation providing FREE
services to improve the lives of children with emotional, developmental, or
behavioral challenges. Last year the State recognized Y.E.S.’s outstanding
contribution to children, by awarding a $75,000 grant.
The after-school and school-vacation programs include yoga, swimming, music,
phys.ed., arts and crafts, and creating one’s own nutritious snack. YES
further supports families through a series of parent education programs,
behavioral training, and linking to community resources. This is only
possible through grants and many volunteers. Check out their website at
www.yes4kids.com. Perhaps you know someone who could benefit from their
services.
To provide new opportunities for children with autism, ADHD, post-traumatic
stress, and other disorders, you may contribute by mailing to me a check
payable to Youth Enhancement Services or by visiting my website at
www.emilyruns.org. All contributions,
regardless of amount, are greatly appreciated, 100% tax deductible, and will
empower children with disabilities to find, use, and express their unique
strengths and talents.
As I run the 26.2 mile course, knowing your generosity is helping many
deserving families in our local communities will inspire me to a more
meaningful and stronger finish. I do thank you.
With gratitude,
Emily Prendiville,
