  1. Hello, I am a student at Occidental College and I am training to run the LA Marathon to raise money for cancer research. You can follow my progress on my blog at http://lamarathonrun.blogspot.com/. My goal is to raise $1,500 and I was wondering if you would like to make a pledge. If not, I would really appreciate it if you could follow my blog or leave a comment. Thanks and have a great day.
