Over the past 2 decades I have been supporting the Boston Home, a caring institution
that provides for people with multiple scleroisis. On numerous occasions, I have walked the Boston
or NYC marathon routes to raise money for them. Click here for the history of how I started
working with the Boston Home after suffering a back injury in 1992.
Over the past 2 months, I have been working at The Children's Storefront, a caring institution
that provides a quality education for preK-8 students in Harlem. The Children's Storefront is an independent, tuition-free school in Harlem
serving pre-school through 8th grade. It began in 1966.

- The Boston Home residents need more work stations with voice recognition
software since that is really the only way for a resident with MS to surf the Web or send e-mail when
your fingers are no longer reliable.
- The Children's Storefront students need to acquire more laptops and practice keyboards since
if you do not have hardware in your home, it is hard to improve skills even when your
2 hands function well.
- Will you sponsor me? Any amount is fine, but in the spirit of 2's, here are suggested
donation amounts. Thanks in advance! Steve
Bronze: $2 | Silver: $22 |
Gold: $222 | Platinum: $2,222

- All money that I raise will be split amongst these 2 institutions.
There is no overhead
that goes to me. In fact, I plan to send a matching donation of 2% of whatever I raise from The Summercore Teaching Company
which is why I will NOT accept a 2 million dollar
donation since then I would need to match it with $40,000 ;-)
- Please send your pledge amount to my e-mail or to
and I will update you
after Sunday November 4th. I walked my first marathon in 1998 and it is getting harder each year to do so. I do not want any money until I complete the route.
- If you are in NYC and want to walk with me, we will
meet at 5:22 AM at the Verranzano Bridge.
I would be glad to have you join me!
