In 2012 I will attempt to finish my first marathon, and not just any marathon, the Boston marathon. I will be running for the Melanoma Foundation, a charity that looks at Melaonma with an upstream focus and created to combat the rising rate of melanoma and melanoma deaths. They provide educational programs targeting the prevention and early detection of skin cancer and melanoma for both children and adults! My goal is to raise $10,000 for them, and any amount helps.You can purchase burpees for $50 each, and there is only 351 343 of them available! I will do all the burpees over the course of the marathon, so the more you donate, the more pain I get to endure :) You can also donate for the heck of it, or because you support the cause but not suffering!

What is Boston Marathon Burpee Madness? In an attempt to surpass my fundraising goal, and to attempt a potentially impossible feat, I will be doing reverse burpee madness along the route of the Boston marathon. At mile marker 1, I will stop and do 26 burpees, at mile marker 2, I will do 25 burpees....at mile 26 I will do 1 burpee - this is assuming all of 351 burpees get donated - so if you want to see me attempt super hero-hood, you'll have to jump on the band wagon! Im not entirely sure this will be humanly possible, especially since I have to finish both the 351 burpees AND the 26.2 miles within 6 hours!

I would be stoked to do a burpee for a loved one suffering from any illness, or just to let you see me suffer. Burpees are $50, and every penny of that goes to the Melanoma foundation. I am already paying out of pocket for my entry and training fees! $50 may sound like a lot, but that is less than $2 per mile and less than the average cell phone bill, plus, Im doing a burpee DURING a marathon for you.

Please use the form below to tell me a little bit about the person I am doing the burpee for so I can be sure to add them to my website. If you just are donating for me to do an extra burpee, thats cool to, let me know what you would like to be put on my site as a thank you! Make sure to use the same name on the form below as well as my donation page, so I can cross-reference you! Once you fill out the form, you will get a confirmation message that has the link to my donation page!
