TEAM FCVN: Running the 2008 Boston Marathon

/>Team FCVN will be running in the 2008 Boston Marathon on April 21, 2008. As you know, there are many reasons why participants choose to endure the physical and emotional challenge of the Boston Marathon. Some run to win; most run to finish; a few, use the opportunity to give. Members of Team FCVN are two of the few. Tom Nguyen,  Gaston Kelly, and Matthew R. Nau have chosen to share their dream of completing a Boston Marathon with orphaned children in Vietnam. Help us, help Tom and Gaston reach their goal, by pledging, either by check or online. (be sure to include Tom, Gaston or Matt’s name when pledging).
