Dearest friends and family!

Competing in the Vermont 100 Mile Endurance Run is a challenge that I look forward to meeting again this summer. While I have spent hours, days, months and even years training for this event, it is something that I have been incredibly passionate about. The 2013 VT100 will be my 5th running in this historic event, now celebrating it's 25th year. Those who finish the Vermont 100 5x, receive a special 500 Mile Belt Buckle. My previous finishes include: 2007 (23:19), 2008 (23:37), 2009 (23:27), 2010 (28:58).

There are people out there for whom just getting out to walk can be a challenge. People who need a little extra assistance to meet the challenge that brings health, fun and passion to their lives. Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports provides access to recreational and competitive athletic training, equipment and support for people who have disabilities in the areas of hiking, running, biking, skiing, snow snowshoeing, horse back riding, rock climbing, boating and more.

As some of you may or may not know, my grandfather Michael Kobilarcsik ("Moe"), spent the last 14 years of his life in a wheelchair after suffering a major stroke. I enjoyed the immense challenge of being his caretaker for many of those years. It is my humble mission to serve the benefactors of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sport just as I served my grandfather. Furthermore, having received a Bachelors Degree in Outdoor Education, I cannot speak highly enough about the benefits of programs akin to that of Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sport.

Please consider donating what you can to help me reach my goal and help Vermont Adaptive meet their goal too! I am respectfully asking for a minimum donation of $20.

Thank you!
