Run for Relief : Turkey & Syria Earthquake

Greetings Friends & Family,

In a few weeks time I’ll be running the Los Angeles Marathon on 3/19/23, and thought I’d take a shot at leveraging my interest & love of running in this event toward a good cause. For those that may not know, my decade+ long work within Architecture includes helping build resilient communities and disaster relief, so it is only natural that I try to raise some much needed aid after this devastating Earthquake and continued Aftershocks within the region of Turkey & Syria.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Direct Relief, and have started this out with a personal contribution of $250. Any donation will help make a difference, though in the spirit of the Marathon (26.2 miles) perhaps you will look at donating an amount per mile I run? Full disclaimer though, I’ve never not finished… LOL.

Thank you for taking the time to click reading this and hope you can help in any way you can. Best, Erik…
