Last year my friend Dan Occhiogrosso dribbled (yes I wrote "dribbled"...a basketball) the New York City Marathon to raise funds and awareness for aids orphans in South Africa. Since the time of the NYC race other runners have dribbled various races ranging from 5k's to other full marathons. Each runner raised funds and awareness for a social injustice that they are passionate about. This group of people are networked together by the name Dribble The World. Now Ashley Ten Kate will dribble the NYC half-marathon with the goal of ending sex slave trafficking. I encourage you to at least check out this LINK to watch a video on sex slave trafficking and see how you can potentially be involved.
On a personal note, I need to quit making excuses and dribble a race in the next 18 months. I have a few charities in mind that I would like to raise funds for. Anyone want to commit to a race with me? I know of a certain couple in NC that have been training hard.
