I've been trying to come up with an idea to raise additional money for the children and the school in Africa. I was thinking that I could find a corporation that would be willing to make a donation to MICS, and exchange, I would be willing to display their logo on the back of my shirts while I train and also while I run the marathon. the problem is, how do I find someone who would be interested in this? More importantly, how do I find a company that is willing to make a donation for it...so I can raise more money for the school! I decided to take a shot in the dark and make an auction listing on eBay. Today I posted this ad. The problem that I face, is how do I make companies aware of this opportunity to get some advertising and help a worthy cause. I will attempt to contact the local media and some companies with inside contacts. Maybe this can get a little buzz going.
Welcome to Miles For Macha
I have created this website to create awareness and raise support for a new elementary school that is being built in the remote village of Macha, Zambia, Africa.
I will be running the New York City Marathon on November 2, 2008. This website will be a blog of my experiences while training for this marathon.

Donations
I am committing months of training, sweat, and pain into running these 26.2 miles.
I am asking for each of you to pledge $1 for each mile that I will be running on November 2. In other words, I am asking everyone to dig deep into their pockets and donate $26.20 to this worthy cause. This money will help the school in Macha, Zambia, to purchase a reliable 4x4 vehicle to transport students and supplies.

Of course, any donation amount will be gladly accepted!
