Dylan is taking it on!

This summer we met Dylan Thayer at one of the camps that Sarah was speaking at.  He's a student athlete at Hamilton College in New York.  He was inspired by what we're doing with Ubuntu Sports Outreach and wanted to combine his passions and gifts to our cause.
So this summer Dylan is doing something crazy, and he needs your support!!  On July 24th, Dylan will be running 41 miles across the Maryland section of the Appalachian Trail in one day to raise funds and awareness for Ubuntu Sports Outreach.  How amazing is that?!?!  I have run one marathon, 26 miles, and it was one of the worst experiences of my life!  He's doing a marathon, a 1/2 marathon, and 2 more miles just for fun!!
Dylan's goal is to raise $7,500, which would fully support 10 Ubuntu school teams this year.  That would be 10 of the 24 teams that it looks like we are going to have.  
Please visit his cause site at: http://atxc2011.causevox.com/.  This is a completely secure site where you can give any amount of donation that you would like.  He also has a separate blog that you can get the details for there.
Dylan is doing something significant for Ubuntu, let's get behind him!
