VoteNoMalley Fundraising - It Works!

I have a wonderful update to my previous post on what works and what does not work in the world of fundraising.  I actually got a donation to the team I am helping raise money for the Believe in Tomorrow Port to Fort 6K.  Therefore, using your blog as a vehicle to raise money CAN work.

Unfortunately, the donation did not come from Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.  Unless he used an alias.  But he likes to take credit for things he does.  And things he doesn't do, or hasn't done, so I can't imagine that he'd use an alias.

Earlier in the week the weather was looking bad.  High chance of rain.  Temperatures starting in the low 30's.  Brrrr.  Terrible running weather.  But now the weather is starting to look better.  Mostly sunny and in the low 50's.  PERFECT running weather.

We hope to see everyone at the race on Sunday!

The Baltimore Department of Transportation provided this travel information for this weekend about the race.  I wonder how much money they are charging the race for the road closures.  I hear that it is a lot of money.

The 16th annual Port to Fort 6K Family Run/Walk will be held on Sunday starting at 9:00 a.m.

The event will begin and end at the Baltimore Museum of Industry located on Key Highway. Runners will proceed west along Key Highway and turn right on Light Street, left onto Lee Street, and then left on S. Charles Street. Runners will then turn right on W. Hughes Street, left on S. Hanover Street, left on W. Wells Street, and left on Johnson Street. Runners will proceed parallel to Riverside Park, right on E. Randall Street, left on Battery Avenue, right on E. Cross Street and right back onto Key Highway to finish at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.

During the event, one lane of travel will be blocked along the course from 6:30 am until 12:30 pm.

Drivers should be aware that traffic will be stopped occasionally along each of the event routes for safety reasons.
