Update 9/1/2010 :

The 2010 Athens Marathon is approaching quickly. It will be very exciting to participate in the 2500 Anniversary celebration of the first marathon as we run from Marathon, Greece down to the stadium in Athens on race day, October 31, 2010. Thank you all for the support given me and the sponsorships for this exciting event.

I am excited to help promote Hellenism, support the many charities of the AHEPA Charitable Foundation and particularly, my designated charity of Penelope House Family Violence Center. Thank you to everyone who has donated and shown support for me, the Marathon and Penelope House. Donations will still be accepted for a while longer, in case you didn't get yours in yet.

I am continuing my training and will be increasing my running efforts right up until the time we board the plane for the flight to Athens. My training consists of running, biking and jumping rope to increase strength and endurance. You can track some of my training runs on my dailymile site here: http://www.dailymile.com/people/throughnothing

Again thank you for your support and I will continue with updates as the plans continue for this historic Marathon event in Athens.

Thank you for supporting me in my participation in the 2010 AHEPA Athens Marathon. I'm hoping this experience will be a truly unique one.

This marathon is a significant one for obvious reasons. The original marathon, which my designated course will follow, was run 2,500 years ago in ancient Greece, when Phidippides was sent to run to Athens to bring news of the Athenians victory at the Battle of Marathon. Upon arriving at Athens, he proclaimed, “We have won” and dropped dead from exhaustion (he also fought in the battle, and previous to it, ran to Sparta to see the assistance of the Spartans). The modern marathon race commemorates Phidippides’ amazing feat.

The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA), the organization I am partnering with to commemorate the origin of this significant event is the largest Greek American heritage organization in the world.

As a result of my participation, your support of the AHEPA Charitable Foundation will assure that funds are available to assist individuals of all races, color, and creeds, in their time of need—whether they are victims of natural or manmade disasters or suffer from deadly diseases.

Thank you again for supporting me and the AHEPA Charitable Foundation. I'm excited to participate in the 2010 Athens Marathon and trust it will be an indelible experience that will provide memories to last a lifetime.
