On April 30th, Liam, along with Team McIsaac (mom, dad, Big Sis Erin, Cousin Jack and anyone else who wants to run), is running the BC Race 2 Educate for the 4th year. Liam (and I guess that means me too) is committed to running both the Kids Fun Run (1K) AND the 5K. Did I mention the course is the infamous "Heartbreak Hill" in reverse? All proceeds from the Race 2 Educate benefit Saint Columbkille Partnership School, where Liam is in the 3rd grade. Haven't heard of Saint Columbkille?

I'm sorry to ask as I know you are inundated with fundraising requests. Saint Columbkille School was on the list of school closings until BC stepped in. The partnership with Boston College has enabled the school (and therefore the community) to thrive. The infusion of aspiring teachers has provided much needed support for the teachers. The BC hockey teams mentor the students and take them skating. BC's marching band came last week to kickoff the Race 2 Educate. BC's track team comes to the school every week to coach the "running club" to help the kids train for the race.
There is a school contest to see which class can register the most runners and who can raise the most money. Ms. Martin's 3rd grade class wants to win. BIG! To register to run, or donate, please visit www.bcracetoeducate.com. No donation is too small - even $5 would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for visiting Team McIsaac's BC Race to Educate fundraising page!
