Coach Andi: Welcome

Welcome to Running with Coach Andi. Over the course of this past year I have found a passion for running. What first started as a weight loss initiative has now turned into a hobby for me. In addition to the personal benefits of running I have experienced, I have set out to inspire others to do the same. This isn't about winning a race, but it's about the journey to that finish line. It's about how good we feel after we go out for a training run and how awesome we feel after we finish a race - no matter the distance. My ultimate goal is to run in a marathon and I anticipate meeting that goal the spring of 2010. Hopefully, you will be there running with Team Running with Andi.

This group is based in Kearny, NJ and neigboring towns.  There are also group members located in Jacksonville, Florida.

Hope for the Warriors 

On November 29, 2009 I will be running in a 15K event in an effort to raise $500 to support our wounded soldiers through Hope For The Warriors™, a national non-profit group that supports injured service members and their families.

As a united support network, all individuals, whether of great or small means, can find an opportunity to honor those who have willingly sacrificed to defend and protect our freedom. We invite you to take part in the inspirational lives of these young men and women and make it known that they never stand alone.

Please take a minute to read a little about the Hope for the Warriors on page 2 of this letter or check out their website and learn more about the programs and people they support—http://www.hopeforthewarriors.org. If you are inspired by these stories of hope and courage, please consider a small donation on my behalf.Donations can be made online by visiting my personalized donation’s page http://2009TeamH4W.kintera.org/andidornelas or by sending a check to:
