Members of Team CharlotteShare are primarily from the Charlotte, NC area. Whether survivor or supporter, our members welcome this opportunity to "be there," in some small way, for all those left to rebuild their lives after losing someone they loved in uniform.
When you run with Team CharlotteShare, you’ll also be running under the umbrella organization, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) – a charity partner of the Marine Corps Marathon. That means all your sponsorship dollars will go to benefit TAPS (www.taps.org). And as a sub-group of TAPS, you’ll enjoy all the added benefits of being a part of the TAPS family for the weekend:
– The honor of running in memory of a lost service member
– The inspirational comraderie of the TAPS family
– Reduced-rate hotel accommodations (a superb location, by the way!)
– A TAPS goody bag (in addition to your Marine Corps Marathon/10K goody bag)
– An incredibly motivating pasta dinner honoring those in whose memory everyone is running
– Transportation to the start line on race day
– A great after-race party at the only rotating rooftop restaurant in Washington, DC!
Additionally, as a member of Team CharlotteShare, you’ll enjoy the mutual support that comes with training with other CharlotteShare team members. And that preparation will be under the watchful eye and learned guidance of certified trainers (for both 10K participants and full marathon runners); those trainers will be with you from the time you join our team until you cross the finish line in October! We’ll have our own Team CharlotteShare shirts, and anyone who joins our team will enjoy one free session at Fitness Together – Charlotte’s premier private personal fitness training studios.
If you’d like to join us as we prepare for the fourth weekend in October, just click on the "Join Our Team" button above and follow the prompts. (Don't miss general information on what's included in your entry fee, the weekend schedule, and lodging at http://friendsoftaps.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=301461.) And be sure to contact Laura at the Matthews (NC) Fitness Together studio (704-847-3859) for details on our training schedule, and to schedule your free session.
But if actually running is not in the cards for you, please just support us with a donation -- to Team CharlotteShare, in general, or credited to one of our members. Either way, we sure do appreciate your support of this great cause!!
