The RunEmz journey on a treadmill is quickly coming together.
I want to give you a little information about the cause I am passionate about:
Since 1977, Sojourner Center has provided shelter and support services to thousands of individuals affected by domestic violence. Through empowerment families discover hope and have the opportunity to build a new future . . . .
free
from
violence.
As the nation's largest domestic violence shelter, Sojourner Center is a tireless advocate for domestic violence victims and survivors. With the continued support of the community, Sojourner Center can help women and children overcome the impact of domestic violence . . .
one
life
at
a
time.
The run will be at the Channel 12 studio [200 East Van Buren] ..... outside. Yep, I said o u t s i d e .
There will be prizes to my followers who collect the most donations.
The new "RUN EMZ" shirts [same front . . .added new back. . . .see below]
You can click on the [ 24 hour treadmill "runemz" button at top right ] to donate. It will take you to the new site . . . . just click on the "donate" tab.

Oh wow, Emz. I stop blogging for one week and LOOK at how many AWESOME things you are doing around here! What a fantastic effort for a great cause. I used to work as a counsellor at a women's shelter when I first graduated university and this cause is still so close to my heart. Supporting you ALL the WAY!

something is not right with the link under donate the pic with Sojourner Center
it leads to this
Sorry — your last action could not be completed
Love the shirt, love the cause. Will be hitting donate shortly.
BTW, you may notice that you won a certain giveaway on my blog - hit me up at mom2shoo at gmail.com.
You are awesome. Is there much more to say? I love your cause and wish that I could be there for part of the time. Your "training distance" is nothing short of unreal! WOW!

donation is done - I couldn't resist the opportunity to get a EMZ shirt (and to support a great cause)!
Also, are our contributions tax deductible since the Sojourner Center is a charity?
Generally for tax purposes the amount of your charitable contribution minus the value of whatever goods you get in return is your allowable tax deduction.
But since the value of a EMZ shirt is infinity, my allowable tax deduction might be below zero! haha (alright, I'm a tax accountant, and that was a lame attempt at tax humor, haha)
Nelly. Love. It.
Sojourner will send a letter to each of you for your tax needs.
You. Are. Awesome.
That is so stinking cool!!! I am SO proud of you and humbled by you and in awe of you....I haven't looked closely but what is the deadline to donate? I want to donate plus I WANT A T-SHIRT!!!! But my hubby just bought a stupid motorcycle and broke us to the point of sticking to a strict budget for the remainder of MARCH! Ugh... =)
26.68 on the TM !!!!!!!! hoo ray as training run? you are my hero that is seriously unreal. you keep pushing me:)
I'm excited for you to be doing this. here.you.freaking.go - lolol
ill hit that donate link when I get home tonight:)
D
Yowza! A marathon as a training run!?! I've said it before and I'll say it again, You. Are. My. Hero.
You're going to rock this run so hard.
I also love the cause that you are supporting. Something very near and dear to my heart. I'm sending out a link to everyone I know to see if they will donate as well :)
OCP----thank you!!!!!!!!!!
We should hook up SKYPE on different peoples treadmills and then set up times so that you can chat/run them while they run on another treadmill, but with you to keep you company for an hour here or there...
Love the new website! Great cause!
You do freaking got it!
I am so so so so so so so so excited for you! And how fun when your marathon+ distances are training runs. I LOVE IT!
I am seriously just giddy about your 24 hour treadmill run! You are incredible, and I love it!
Does the donation have to be OVER $50 for a shirt? I'm scraping one together (not only for the shirt, but for you and for the cause). Not working = hard.
Not as hard as running 24 hours. on a treadmill. Scraping = worth it.
What a great cause! Like everyone else has said, you are awesome!!! I love the shirt too! Very cool!
YOU have freaking got this. Wow. Training run, eh? I'm oddly jealous of your endeavour. I think it would be awesome to test the body like that while raising awareness and money for something amazing. Can't wait to hear more (I am so behind on blog reading).
I'm a new follower!
LOVE the shirt! :)
You're doing such a great thing. SO freaking awesome. <3
