Description

GREG'S CHARITY: HOLE IN THE WALL GANG CAMP Greg is raising money for the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp as his designated charity to make him eligible for participation in the 2022 New York City Marathon. The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp’s signature summer program offers week-long residential camps designed for seriously ill children aged 7 – 15 and their siblings. Campers participate in traditional camp activities, while receiving care from a significant, yet unobtrusive, medical presence. ALL OF THE MONEY GREG RAISES GOES DIRECTLY TO THEIR KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES. IT ALLOWS THE KID TO GO TO CAMP FOR FREE. HOW MUCH DO I DONATE? - the minimum to get a run number is $25. But please feel free to be as generous as you like. WHAT "CHRISTMAS IN JULY" GOODIES DO I GET FOR THE DONATION? Every runner/walker receives a gift wrapped Christmas present varying in value. These "gifts" are from years of leftover stuff from Varsity Sports. Plus, Greg and Amy have shopped for some special gifts. Breakfast sandwiches from Capitol Grocery. Christmas cookies, water, electrolytes and beer! Parking and Christmas tent will be at: Keogh, Cox, and Wilson Ltd. 701 Main Street Bring your number to the Christmas tent after you have finished. Your run number is matched up with a wrapped Christmas gift. WHAT IS THE ROUTE? This is the suggested route. It's an open course with no security.
