Hi friends and family of Jeremy!!  

Jeremy has been marathon training for the last few months… for fun. I don’t get it either but that’s fine. It makes him happy.   

Instead of him running in the Westchester woods by himself, I’d love to sign him up for the NYC Marathon. I know he will be absolutely thrilled to get to do it. However, at this point, there are only charity tickets available. Which is great! Because not only can Jeremy run the NYC Marathon, but he can also fundraise for OAR (Organization for Autism Research). 

Anyone who knows Jeremy’s family, or has seen his arm tattoo, knows how much choosing this organization would mean to him. I would love to tell him that we are fundraising and have him race for his sister, Sarah. 

Please don’t mention this to Jeremy. Don’t worry, I won’t spring this on him too last minute. However, I’d like to make sure we can meet our goals (and bedazzle a racing shirt for him of course!). 

I’m pulling in a few email lists here, and the last 1.5 years have been… weird… so if you can’t donate or choose not to, no worries at all! Thank you thank you thank you to anyone who can and chooses to donate!! 

Much love, Erin
