Mike Casper's Story
I invite you to join me in a vital fundraising effort for Centre Volunteers in Medicine.
CVIM is a free clinic providing medical and dental care, medication
assistance and case management services to the thousands in Centre
County without healthcare coverage. Every day, CVIM cares for people
with any number of treatable illnesses and conditions, such as high
blood pressure, diabetes, extreme dental decay, and mental health
issues.
I first ran for CVIM in 2014, and I am very enthusiastic about doing it this year. My event is the Eager Seeger Half Marathon, coming up on June 19. What's unique about the event is that I started this race 4 years ago as part of a training series to introduce people to the amazing experience of running in our local Rothrock State Forest. It's a super scenic, mostly unpaved route that includes a challenging 3.5-mile hill in the first half.
I've been training through the winter and spring, but I can say that it will be running for Centre Volunteers in Medicine that will give me the greatest edge to take on the hill and the course, on someone else's behalf. I hope you'll join me by pledging your support.
The "eager" factor can be for that hill on Seeger Road that's always ready to greet a new challenger, or the challenger who's ready to take it on. I'm eager to assist CVIM, and I hope you are, too. Any donation makes a very real difference for someone.
Thanks for your support!
Mike
