It’s on! Last year I joined a small group of runners who raised more than $100,000 for the Red Cross by running the 2009 ING NYC Marathon (that’s me on the far right above). As the busiest chapter in the country, the Red Cross in NY needs our help, every little bit you contribute makes a difference. The group is back together again for this year so please support me in my run by making a contribution on my 2010 Donation Page.

On Twitter: I raised $3,400 last year partly through my $5 Red Cross Twitter Challenge (last year this type of thing was still new - not so much anymore). You can help by donating and also by helping spread the word by retweeting and mentioning @nealgorman $5 Red Cross Twitter Challenge. Check back here for results and see me @nealgorman (http://twitter.com/nealgorman) and share some tweets!
Here are a few neat little news articles from last year too!
