California International
Marathon
 Hello
All!
I ran the marathon, ball
in hand and without
dropping it, in exactly
4 hrs 1 minute, which is
about a 9 minute 13
second mile pace. The
weather was foggy and
very chilly, but that
issue faded after about
4 miles into the race.
I was greeted along the
way by several
spectators, enthusiastic
about the rugby clothes
and ball, many of whom
chanted "Go SCA (Sac
Child Advocates)". I
have enclosed a picture
taken by my good friend
John Modrow right near
the finish of the race.
You should check out my
goofy shorts!
Several of my closest
friends greeted me at
the finish, and my
warmest thanks go to
them, and
especially to my
girlfriend Amanda Lucas,
for giving me
inspiration all the way
to the end of the race.
If you waited to make a
donation until I
actually ran the race,
you now can relax and
make the
contribution. The
donation page should be
open for a few more
weeks (www.sacchildadv.org).
It is a tax
deductible donation, and
I will beleaguer the
point that your donation
will mean so much to
children in need.
Thanks again for
everyone who supported
this cause. Happy
Holidays to you and your
families.
Sincerely,
Anthony K. McClaren
Tracy
Youth Fund
Many of you have heard
the disturbing story of
a child in Tracy, CA who
was recently rescued.
At The request of the
Tracy Police Department
SCA has set up a fund
for this child. We have
received many generous
donations to help ensure
that his future is
provided for.
We appreciate the
support that the
community has shown – we
have received donations
from all over the
world! But, if you
would, please consider
this: There are 4800
other children within
the foster care system
in Sacramento County,
all of whom have
suffered. We urge you
to extend a helping had
to the many thousands of
children that also need
our help.
Please visit our website
at
www.sacchildadv.org
to make a recurring
monthly donation and to
learn more about SCA.
Again, THANK YOU
for your continued
support – it is through
the generosity of people
like you
that truly shows and
exemplifies the meaning
of the Holidays!
