Well February has certainly given us its fair share of winter fury here in the Boston area, but me and my DFMC teammates have our eye on the prize and are looking forward to warmer temps as we head into March and our final seven weeks of training before the Boston Marathon in April.
Speaking of having our eye on the prize, I have my eye on four pretty amazing prizes that YOU have the chance to win in March! Welcome to "Marathon March Madness" - and here's hoping the only madness is in the mad dash to donate and support innovative basic cancer research while giving yourself a chance (or several chances) to win these great prizes. So here's how it works.
4 weeks in March.
1 awesome prize each week, building in size/value each week.
Each donation of $10 = 1 entry for that week's prize.
(i.e. $30 = 3 entries, $50 = 5 entries, etc.)
Donate during the week(s) that correspond with the prize(s) below that you would like to win. At the end of the week, all entries from that week will be placed into an opportunity drawing and a winner will be picked for that week's prize!
All proceeds benefit my goal of raising $13,100 for basic cancer research through the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge
Now onto the reason you're all here...the prizes!
WEEK 1: March 1st - March 7th
2 dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies. And guys, I don't mean to brag or anything but my cookies are delicious. Plus, you will be helping to fuel my training because solely in the interest of sending the winner my very best cookies, I will have to make some extra and taste test them...Retail Value: Yummy!

WEEK 2: March 8th - March 14th
Alex and Ani "It's Not A Sprint It's a Marathon" Bracelet from their Charity by Design collection (20% of which benefits Dana-Farber!). My husband got me this bracelet for my birthday and it is the perfect mantra to remind me of my goals each day - both on and off the racecourse. I know this is one my runner friends and teammates will definitely be interested in, but it also makes a great gift...all while helping support cancer research! What's not to love?Retail Value: $28

WEEK 3: March 15th - 21st
Coach Madison Phoebe Purse (brand new with tags). Okay seriously, this bag is gorgeous. Ladies, it is the perfect neutral piece for all seasons. Guys, you may be more interested in the Week 4 prize but let me tell you this - enter for both Week 3 and Week 4 and you're off the hook when you bring your buddy to the game instead of her! And supporting cancer research is the one trend that never goes out of style!Retail Value: $395

WEEK 4: March 22nd - March 31st
2 Red Sox EMC Club Tickets with Parking.Let me repeat, 2 Red Sox EMC Club Tickets with parking. In Boston. The parking alone is prize enough! These tickets have been generously donated The Kessler Group, and let me tell you - these are the BEST seats at Fenway. One level up, directly behind home plate, seat service for drinks and food, and then a full service restaurant/bar with private bathrooms behind you?!? Yeah, you could get used to that. Now I can't tell you which team will win, but I can tell you that scoring these seats while supporting life saving cancer research is win/win!
Retail Value: $650
