*Run the Boston Marathon for The Second Step!*

Calling all runners!! Will you run to end domestic violence?

The Second Step (TSS), a provider of services for domestic violence survivors, is excited to announce that we've been granted seven Invitational Entries to run the 2010 Boston Marathon on April 19.

The Second Step is currently accepting applications for runners interested in joining The Second Step Marathon Team and raising $3,500 or more to help end domestic violence. If you are passionate about running and want to help raise money for a great cause, this is your chance!!

Teammates need not meet the regular qualifying time to run the Boston Marathon but must be able to complete the course within six hours. Runners must guarantee that they will raise a minimum of $3,500. Runners who raise $5,000 or more will be entered into a drawing for a fabulous prize. All proceeds benefit The Second Step, Inc.

Last year, The Second Step's Marathon Team raised over $28,000!

For more information, or to receive an application, please call 617-965-2026 or email tcrowley@thesecondstep.org

Please forward this opportunity to any interested runners you might know.

Thank you!!
