... but just in case I don't, sponsor my Oct. 2 Twin Cities marathon run and help support a fantastic nonprofit, Twin Cities RISE!

At Twin Cities RISE! we help people who have had a rough ride in life. They come to us from generational poverty with barriers most of us can't imagine. Many have been unemployed for years.

We provide work skills and life skills training, job placement support, and personal coaching. Our graduates find and keep living wage jobs with a future. We see transformational change take place -- it's truly amazing. And when our graduates succeed we all win -- their new employers, their kids, our neighborhoods, even taxpayers!

But we need your help. It's more challenging than ever to fund our work. Help us to help others by sponsoring my marathon run... just in case!

Twin Cities RISE!... Changing Lives!

Thank you.
