Esteemed friends and beloved family,

I was peer pressured into signing up to run 5 kilometers by my colleagues who incorrectly assume I am still a physically fit individual. Even when I was in shape I could barely survive 5 consecutive kilometers of running. So I ask you to please help me out and raise some money for all the patients here at the Heart Institute who fight to overcome their heart conditions every day. I am volunteering myself to have an aortic aneurysm so that our patients won't.
