Running the Marathon for Charity

Posted

Hello! My name is Carol Crutchfield, and I’m running the 2017 Boston Marathon for the Heather Abbott Foundation charity team, Limb-it-less. The Heather Abbott Foundation provides prosthetics to those who have lost their limbs through trauma. As I’m training for the marathon, I am also fundraising for this worthy cause. I’m writing today to ask if you would consider including my story and my cause in your next issue of The East Providence Reporter, perhaps by printing the following:

Local runner Carol Crutchfield is running the 2017 Boston Marathon for the Heather Abbott Foundation, which provides much-needed prosthetics to those who have lost their limbs through trauma. Both Carol and Heather were present during the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013, and experienced firsthand the effects of that tragedy. Heather herself lost her leg and required expensive prosthetics to be able to return to her way of life, which inspired her to start her foundation. You can help Carol and Heather pay it forward by donating to their cause at: https://www.crowdrise.com/HeatherAbbottFoundationBoston2017/fundraiser/carolcrutchfield.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you decide to join my cause!
Sincerely,

Carol Crutchfield
