1 day, 23 hours, 31 minutes To Go!

The final stretch is almost here! The runners are ready, but feeling quite anxious... trust me, I LIVE with one of them! The marathon begins in Staten Island, at 10:40 AM on Sunday, November 7th... 26.2 miles from Staten Island, to Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, crossover Roosevelt Island, and finishing in Central Park, Manhattan. 

Wow! We are inspired by the commitment and the thought of this grand event... Our runners have trained for months, had countless sleepless nights, and of course, some grumpy moments... but it's all been worth it!

Thank you for everyone who has donated towards this marathon, and sponsored our runners. It is your confidence and faith in them that has kept them committed to this challenging goal.

As you know, this marathon has inspired the creation of a charitable foundation in Saij's name, called: TEAM SAIJ - SIMPLY THE BEST (STB). You may donate to this non-profit organization by sending checks to: TEAM SAIJ - STB,  12520 Grey Fox Lane, Potomac, MD 20854.

Stay tuned for great pictures of our runners as they begin their adventure. 

Good Luck Mom, Laura Mami, Maggie Mami, and Mohina Massi :)
