Support Team Burnham and The Spa will Support You!

I admire those who run marathons or half marathons or even 5Ks… (I am not a runner, you see.) So, hats off to The Spa’s very own Andy for joining Team Burnham to run in the Disney Marathon!

Team Burnham is participating in the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, January 9-10, 2010, to raise money for Burnham Institute for Medical Research. Burnham Institute for Medical Research is dedicated to discovering the fundamental molecular causes of disease and devising the innovative therapies of tomorrow. Burnham, with operations in California and Florida, is one of the fastest-growing research institutes in the country.http://www.burnham.org/default.asp?contentID=15

This will be Andy’s very first marathon and his goal is to raise $2,500 by running the marathon. As added encouragement for people to donate to Andy’s goal, if you donate $25 or more, The Spa will give you a $25 gift card to The Spa. The gift card can be used on any spa service including Happy Hours (January’s is chocolate themed!). This is a great last minute gift for anyone on your list, or a great way for you to start off the New Year with a spa treatment! Donate $25 (or more) to charity; get a $25 gift card – now that’s a deal!

To make donating as easy as possible, you can even make your donation online. Andy set up a web page to take donations and track his goal – as I type he just jumped to more than $400 toward his goal (with more than 2 weeks to go)! Visithttp://www.active.com/donate/teamburnham2010/andythespa to make a donation and see watch Andy meet his goal. (I am sure he will take money in person if you are at The Spa too!)

So, if you are a non-runner like me, support Team Burnham by contributing to Andy’s goal. If you are a runner, you can still contribute to Andy’s goal and join the marathon!

Good luck Andy, don’t forget to stretch, hydrate and breathe! Oh and make sure you book a massage before and after the race – I think you will need one!
