On Your Mark, Get Set...
Join us for the 5th Annual Jimmy D Memorial 5K Run/Walk
It is hard to believe it will be 5 years since the loss of my father, one of New Brunswick's Bravest! How happy he is to see all the good that has come since his untimely death.
Let's get those running shoes on and get moving for the Saint Barnabas Burn Center and The Art Luf Children's Burn Camp!
I thank you, and The James D'heron Memorial Foundation, Inc. thanks you!
See you on September 6th!

"Burns are a common cause of preventable injury, affecting over a million people in the United States, leading to the hospitalization of almost 40,000 children each year and over 1,000 deaths. And half of these injuries are in children under the age of 4 years."

Bob Tona's 50 @ 50 for Juvenile Diabetes
Bob Tona's 50 @ 50
This year, I'll be taking part in a special event that I will be instituting to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes Research. To commemorate my 50th birthday on January 6th, I plan to run 50 road races during 2009, my 50th year. I hope to accomplish two main goals in this endeavor. First, I will help promote fitness by recruiting friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues to run or walk with me. Second, I plan to raise $10,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. I have named it Bob's 50 @ 50.
My journey to 50 races will take me all over New Jersey, the 5 boroughs of NYC, Long Island , New Orleans , Philadelphia , Virginia , Delaware , New Hampshire , Boston and beyond. Please consider joining me at one of these races. You can follow my exploits and those who join me, via my website and through my weekly blog on www.bobs50at50.com. Donations can also be made through my website by clicking onto the JDRF logos.
Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!
Have a great New Year and if you can't give, please join me at one of the races.
Thank you,
Bob Tona
