The great folks at Hanover Home & Garden...

The folks at Hanover Home & Garden in Hanover, PA are donating 10% of all purchases made on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 3-6, to the Munda DiIulio family!

Simply show the invitation (image below) during any or all of these four days, and 10% of customer’s purchases will be given to Munda and Shauna. The store is located at 1169 Eichelberger Street behind the North Hanover Mall next to Faloon’s Family Fun Center/Dairy Queen - click here for directions. Store hours are Thursday and Friday 9-8, Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 11-4. (Faloon’s has graciously given us permission to use their lot for overflow parking.)


There will also be a bake sale and a food stand with all proceeds also going to Munda and Shauna. Times for the bake sale and food stand will be Thursday and Friday 11-7, and Saturday 10-4 (Sunday only if still have items to sell). The food stand will feature pulled pork sandwiches, hot dogs, macaroni salad, baked beans and more! If you would like to donate bake goods and/or help man the food stand, please call the store (633-7883) and they will let you know when to bring items in or schedule pick up if needed and also let you know times available to help at the food stand.

If you're in the Hanover area this weekend, please stop by to show your support!

On Your Marks, Get Set, GO!

In preparation for the JFK 50-mile ultramarathon on November 21, I'm planning to run about 1,000 miles. That's a lot, but it's nothing compared to my Uncle Munda's race against brain cancer.  With this web site, I hope to update you on both races, hear about your running, and do some fundraising for Munda.  Will you join me?

Today, in addition to running six miles, I am kicking off a fundraising campaign. Please help me help Munda and his family by "buying" a portion of the JFK 50.  I'm selling them for $100 each! For contributions of $25 or more, you can get a free t-shirt - see image in the right-hand column of this page.  To make a contribution, contact me at kristaslynnshaffer@gmail.com.  I'll keep track of the miles I've sold on this page. I will also post training news and updates here.

I'd also like to let you know about this July 9, 2009 article in the New York Times on a famous ultrarunner who struggles with a brain injury. She and Munda struggle with similar problems. Fascinating!

Well, I hope you'll join me!  Happy Running!
