It's that time of year again! The Lake Loop is back and that means it's time to help raise money to help the Lake Hopatcong Foundation foster a vibrant and healthy Lake Hopatcong for all to enjoy! A bonus is that you get to make me run!
Last year you all rose to the challenge and had me running 62 miles for the Lake! I finished running those miles in August! It took me way longer than I anticipated- you can ask my amazing coworkers they kept me on track in getting these miles done!
This year I will be offering up the same challenge! I will run 1 mile for every $25 that is donated to my fundraising page - this is in addition to the 5K that I will be running on Sunday, October 2 at the official Lake Loop event, which is back to an in-person event! This year I will even make the commitment to complete running all miles by Halloween!
What do you get for donating?
1. The satisfaction of making me run more miles
2. A personal shoutout on Facebook/Instagram from me thanking you for making me run.
3. You get to help the Lake Hopatcong Foundation make Lake Hopatcong the best it can be! Your donations are used as matches for grant applications for on-the-ground projects to help improve water quality in Lake Hopatcong, they help us offer our Field Trip program to 1300+ students each year and allow us to take students out on our Floating Classroom. They help us maintain the Lake Hopatcong Trail as we work to expand it and they help us make the lake safer for all to enjoy. And your donations allow us to advocate for the Lake at ALL levels of government. To learn more about what we do visit: www.lakehopatcongfoundation.org

I hope you consider making a donation a donation! Thank you for your support!!
