Please help fellow runner...see below.

I'm a former Maria Carrillo HS runner (class of 2005, under Dan Aldridge) and was hoping you could help me out a little bit via your website. Here's the situation:

I was recently selected to represent Team USA at the 18th Maccabiah Games. The Maccabiah Games are held once every four years in Israel, and see Jews from across the globe come to compete in various sports. Basically, it's the "Jewish Olympics." I'll be racing the half marathon.

Unfortunately, there isn't quite as much money here as there is in USATF, so part of the trip has to be fundraised. I need to raise a total of $3,300, and was hoping we could post a link to my info/fundraising page on the website. Here it is: http://www.active.com/donate/usahalfmarathon/wolf-root.

We also have a team website which has a small bio on me, which can be found at: http://www.maccabiah-usahalfmarathon.com/aboutteam/openteam.htm#Alex. Hopefully that should give you more info, but you can of course email me back with any and all questions.
