March 8, 2012, from the desk of Cathie Tsuchiya, NMF Administrative Director & Local Fundraising Coordinator
The NMF is excited to be a Charity Partner with the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon, taking place on October 28th in Arlington, VA and Washington, DC.  This is one of the most popular marathons in the U.S.  As proof of that, when the marathon's online registration opened on March 7th at 3pm, all 30,000 entries were sold out in two hours and 41 minutes, a record-breaking time for any U.S. marathon in history!

The NMF has a limited number of spots left and we hope that you will spread the word and encourage any runners you know to register for the Marine Corps Marathon through the NMF!  Do you have family members, friends or colleagues who run?  It's a beautiful course and, most importantly, a great way to spread awareness about Marfan syndrome and related disorders.

This is the first time we have participated as a Charity Partner in an event, and the introduction of our new Team Heart & Soul!  For all the details about the NMF's partnership with the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon and the benefits for runners, including a link to our registration form, please see www.marfan.org/teamheartandsoul and please share this on your Facebook page, Twitter, etc.

Thank you for helping to make our partnership with the Marine Corps Marathon a huge success!
