Hunt of a Lifetime/Marine Corps Marathon
Howdy,
I wasn't sure where to post this so I put it here. This is for a great organization and any help would be appreciated.
As a few of you know, I am running in the Marine Corps Marathon on Oct. 29th. The Marine Corps Marathon is a charity event raising money for several worthy causes including St. Judes, AIDS research etc. However, I am going to be running this years marathon for another charity that is lesser known but does a lot of work for children who have been diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.
Hunt Of A Lifetime http://www.huntofalifetime.org is an organization that grants children with life threatening illnesses the chance to go on a hunt of their dreams. I learned of this organization through my friend Denny Vasquez and all hunts, gear, trips, food, lodging etc on all of their hunts are donated. Denny himself donates a lot of his weekends traveling to various ranches to guide hunts, locate places to hunt, find sponsors etc.
All administration/board members etc all donate their time so there is minimal "administrative cost" that some charities have.
This is similar to, but not connected with, the make a wish foundation that grants extremely ill children the opportunity to have a wish granted.
As a hunter that has been very fortunate in my own hunting experiences I can tell you that this organization does good work for a lot of people that would not normally have the opportunity to take their child on a hunt or fishing trip. Although I know several of you are non-hunters, I can tell you that I know first hand the joy and exhiliration children often find when experiencing the outdoors.
I will be running on October 29th. Anyone wishing to make a donation is welcome to send it to:
Ryan Campbell/Hunt of a Lifetime
P.O. Box 9572 College Station, TX. 77842
Please send in your donation before Oct. 20th. Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Ryan Campbell
