Dear Friend of Gridiron Heroes,

 

My name is Vicky Gallegos and I am writing to you on behalf of Gridiron Heroes Spinal Cord Injury Foundation. I support this organization because I am a member of the high school football community and believe it is absolutely necessary to CONTINUE to support young men injured playing high school football.

 

Gridiron Heroes is a 501(c) 3 Non-Profit Organization founded in 2003 by Eddie and Chris Canales. The mission statement of Gridiron Heroes is as follows: “To provide immediate, as well as, long term resources and support to individuals sustaining catastrophic spinal cord injury through activities associated with high school football.”Because Gridiron Heroes is the only organization of it’s kind, they receive phone calls for help from all over the country. The organization originally supported only Texas high school football, but has since expanded into other states including Louisiana where Eddie and Chris Canales have recently traveled to help injured athletes.

 

As a friend and supporter of the organization I am asking other individuals to run/walk the San Antonio Rock N Roll Half Marathon on November 13, 2011.  Each runner will participate in honor of the Gridiron Heroes.

 

How can you be part of this effort to support some real football heroes? There are two ways to participate:

 

1) Run the Rock N Roll Marathon or ½ marathon as part of the Gridiron Heroes team. We will be having a pre-race party the evening before for all participants and their families to attend. If you commit to run for Gridiron Heroes you will have the opportunity to be truly inspired and help out a great cause!

 

2) Make a donation/pledge to sponsor my run at SA Rock N Roll Marathon. I am requesting donations of $13.10 to be made to Gridiron Heroes. The run is 13.10 miles!

 

Let’s have some fun and raise some money for the Gridiron Heroes! If you have any questions do not hesitate to call me at (956) 225-4141. Hope to meet you soon!

Sincerely,

Vicky Gallegos & Family
