DC Happy Hour Fundraiser

The 4 DC-area members of the CZC Runs Disney Planning Committee recently had a Happy Hour Fundraiser at Mister Days in Clarendon, VA.  We had a table with information about CZC and CZC Runs Disney, and accepted donations.  We raised nearly $200 to go toward our $50,000 fundraising goal :)

Fundraising update

The CZC Runs Disney Team is incredible...
Our family and friends are incredible...


The true miracle

The Road is not always smooth or flat. There are times when it may seem as though you are running away from who you are much more than running toward who you want to be.  There may be times when your body betrays you and your spirit abandons you.  The path to enlightenment is not clearly marked.

But millions of runners have gone before you.  Each of them has faced the same fear and uncertainty.  Each of them has learned, as you will, the truth in the Penguin Credo.

For all of us, the miracle isn’t that we finish, the miracle is that we have the courage to start.

-John “The Penguin” Bingham,
