Running 100 Mile Ultramarathon To Build Playground in New Haven

Please support the building of a playground for low income families at West Rock Author's Academy in New Haven!

On March 21, 2015, I will be running a 100 mile ultra marathon in New Jersey to raise money to build the Cindy Sherwin Memorial Playground at West Rock Young Author’s Academy in New Haven. These pre-K through 4th students and children in the surrounding housing projects are in desperate need of a safe and happy place to play.

The Cindy Lynn Sherwin Memorial Foundation helps promote health, wellness and sound nutrition, especially for youth.

You can donate or learn more about this project here: http://www.cindysherwinfoundation.org
