One More Plea for Sadie's Gift

Steve Carton — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:43:18 GMT

I'm running in the Baltimore Marathon THIS SATURDAY and I'm using it as a way to raise funds for a charity -- Sadie's Gift (http://www.sadiesgift.org/) which is raising money for the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. This is my third and final plea:-) We've gotten some responses, but still would like to get more.

If you feel you can and want to make a contribution, please do; it's a great cause. I'll be writing about this and my training progress in my running blog at http://community.active.com/blogs/turtletraining. You can get to the site to make a donation from there or just go to the Johns Hopkins Children's Center website and to the ONLINE GIVING FORM page (https://jhweb.dev.jhu.edu/eforms/form.do?formId=6239).

You can make you donation on that page. Please (please please) indicate that your gift is for "Sadie Elizabeth Abell Endowment" by checking radio box near the top. Please also "Select a Runner" -- Steve Carton (that would be me:-).

Any amount would be fine -- there is no "lower limit". And if you prefer to make a pledge, please email me with the amount and I'll bug you after the race.

Thanks so much for your support. I'll send pictures afterward if you are interested.

Team Sadie and the Baltimore Marathon, 2008

Steve Carton — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:01:59 GMT

I've aligned myself with Team Sadie for my run in the Baltimore Marathon, October 11, 2008. Team Sadie is raising money for "Sadie's Gift", a charity established to raise funds for Johns Hopkins Hospital Children’s Center. You can read about the charity at this site: http://www.sadiesgift.org/.

Here's the short version:

Sadie’s Gift has been established to raise funds for Johns Hopkins Hospital Children’s Center. After acheiving great success in 2007, we hope to establish an endowment that will be created in Sadie's memory. This endowment will support the training program for doctors who care for critically ill children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) along the east coast.

I'm a true sucker for this kind of thing, being both a parent and a grandparent, and I grew up in the Baltimore area. And my dad taught at Hopkins (Peabody, actually), so Hopkins is near and dear to my heart. So I'm dedicating my run to this cause. What does that mean? Well, first it means I made a donation of my own. But I'm also asking anyone who reads this to donate. You can do so easily and securely, over the internet...

Just go to the Johns Hopkins Childrens Center website and to the ONLINE GIVING FORM page (https://jhweb.dev.jhu.edu/eforms/form.do?formId=5733).

And most of all, thank you. Thank you for the support and thank you for the gift.

Fundraising for the MCM

Steve Carton — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 16:57:00 GMT

The time is now fast approaching! The Marine Corp Marathon is on Sunday October 28, and I'm running in it for a fund-raiser.

So far, we've raised $1,000 for this cause. If you feel you can and want to make a contribution, please do. It's a great cause - whether you agree with the war or not, our troops (and especially the injured ones) and their families deserve all the support we can give them.

Any amount would be fine -- there is no "lower limit".

Here's the link to the fundraising site: http://www.active.com/donate/teamsemperfi/stevecarton

Thanks for your support.
