On November the 1st, a team of passionate Fundacion MIR supporters ran the New York marathon, to raise money for the Fundacion MIR’s school for boys in La Romana.
The team have just announced that they raised $1800.20 – a fantastic sum and achievement but unfortunately just shy of their goal of $2000! The money will be used to buy new chalk boards for the new classrooms at the Fundacion MIR school for boys in La Romana.
On the right is a photograph of the team captain – Dino La Capra, who ran the race in a total time of only 3:30:58 – very impressive! His results for the race are as follows:
Place: 5428
Gender Place: 4725
Age Place: 786
Official Time: 3:30:58
Minutes per Mile: 8:05 !!!!
What a fantastic achievement and for such an admirable cause!
The Fundacion MIR is a wonderful charity, which helps the women and children of La Romana and the Eastern region of the Dominican Republic to gain an education and with their medical facilities is fighting the battle against HIV and AIDS in the community.
