Super Coop Runs the Boston Marathon

154 days.
549 miles of training in the dead of winter.
26.2 miles of the 2010 wicked pissah Boston Marathon.

Remember college? Yeah, it was great. Well, only 36% of Boston high school students go to college and earn a degree. That really bothers me. It bothers me so much that I am going to spend the next five months running a lot of miles, in the snow and freezing cold, to help raise money for Bottom Line.

Bottom Line helps students apply to college; supporting them through all the daunting application materials, student loan and scholarship applications and application fees. They also support students once they are in college, ensuring that students have support, don't give up and succeed. 74% of Bottom Line students graduate from college. That's 38% more than Boston Public School students.

We should all have this support. But, the truth is, we don't.

I am asking you to get involved, donate, and help these kids go to college. It's important. It really is. In return, I will drag my sad, sorry 30-year old tukush out of bed over the next 154 days and run in the wind, snow and nor'easters to make sure that Bottom Line students have one more supporter that is routing for them and their journey.
