Who Wants To Be a Champion?

Champions are so much better than millionaires!
.

Besides, what's ONE million dollars really worth anymore? Seriously!

.

Champions accomplish great feats, get cool medals and get to take inspiring pictures with their fans; while millionaires just go crazy and spend their new found money on drugs, loose women, and gas for their ridiculously expensive cars. Trust me, I saw it on 60minutes!

Champions are so much cooler!

.

So what are you waiting for? Be a CHAMPION!!!

.

Oh, I forgot to tell you how..

The Parkinson's Disease Foundation has marathon spots open for Chicago or Berlin. You would have to raise $2,500 (yes, CHAMPIONS must sometimes solicit money from others to achieve true greatness!), but you get online training (from active.com), a personalized webpage, an awesome singlet, long sleeved tee, visor, some other cool freebies & fundraising tips from the staff. Plus you would get the satisfaction of raising funds for PDF, an organization which is trying effortlessly to unlock the mysteries of a Parkinson's Disease, a chronic and progressive movement disorder which effects more than 6million people worldwide!
