Welcome!

We're the Marathoning Mama's - a group of six women who have joined forces to train to run a marathon
while raising over $20,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. That's the Marathon part.
Between us we have eleven wonderful children mostly around the age of five and under. There's the Mama part.

Thank you for making our Garage Sale a Huge Success!

We are so grateful to everyone who came out and bought an old bike, DVD or brownie. You helped make our sale a wonderful event and raise over $2,500 for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society.

The whole thing happened so darn fast, we never took any photos. It's hard to believe that not one of us snapped a picture of the MOUNTAINS of donated material we received. It was overwhelming - and not just because we had to unpack and display it all. Thank you to everyone who donated goods and their time. We had some amazing volunteers helping with the bake sale, childcare and just general helpfulness and to them I bow down and kiss their feet. We could not have done it without you!

An even bigger Thank You goes out to our "unofficial" Marathoning Mama,
Sundog. Although she's not running the marathon, she's been our biggest helper, supporter and whiner-listener. I'm adding her to our Marathoning Mama's roster in hopes that you'll hear from her soon.

In lieu of a photo of the Gigantic Garage Sale, I'll leave you with this photo of Betty, being monstrously disappointed by her dinner at the MM's planning meeting last week. While we were all scarfing down burgers, she went the healthy route by ordering a "sculptural" spinach salad. She'd probably like me to add that she'd just run "Kenyans" for an hour and a half, prior to the photo. Doesn't she look pissed?




Again, big thank you to all who came out to support us. We'll be posting information about our next fundraiser ASAP!

  1. That is one F-I-N-E Marathoning Mama behind that salad. Maybe a date can be arranged for the proper contribution? ;)

  2. Sorry, Betty isn't on offer.
    For contributions less than $1,000, that is.
    For $1,500 she's also available for weddings
    and bar mitzvahs. Email us for details.
