Race to Save the Planet

We have reached our target.
Thanks to everyone for your support.


Drive ends:

Raised Goal
Donated:

$665

$500

This drive supports the participation of roadrunner650 (Ferdinand Casido) in this race: San Francisco Half Marathon.
My goal is to raise $500 in donations to prevent global warming. Donations for my drive will go towards Carbonfund.org. This will offset at least 1,000,000 pounds of carbon dioxide and will be an important step in the fight against global warming. They support renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar; energy efficiency and reforestation projects that offset carbon dioxide emissions. Your contribution offsets your carbon footprint and allows you to become part of the solution!

Awesome! I've exceeded my goal! I want to thank everyone for contributing! Your help means a lot to me. As for my training, things are going well. I've gone up to 8 miles last weekend. I'm prepping for 10 miles this coming weekend.

My company Juniper Networks has a matching gift program. So to my colleagues out there, Juniper will match whatever you donate dollar for dollar. Juniper Rocks! I'm going to see if they can also match the $500 goal that I'm going for. Shouts out to all those who contributed (especially to my Bro-in-Law) and wishing me luck!

I've always wanted to do something to protect the environment. I also love to run! I've researched several different ideas and came across this one. Why not put both passions together and run for a cause? Instead of me just donating and feeling good about myself, why don't I raise money for something that affects every living creature on the planet? If possible, a donation (no matter how big or small) will go a long way towards a good thing. -Ferdinand
