What Did the 2010 Team In Motion Marathon Runners Have to Say About their Experience?
"Not only do I get to run but I get to raise funds for children who really need it! I met new faces, discovered places in my neighborhood
that I never knew about and even rekindled a friendship. If I had the chance to do it again next year, I would in a heartbeat."
-Dreyfus
"I'm running for In Motion because performing arts have played a huge part in my life and childhood experience. I commend and am
thankful for organizations like In Motion that offset an upsetting trend for performing arts to be cut in public school education,
which allow children to grow, learn and have fun through music and dance. I've been completely blown away with the support
I've gotten in this process.” -Sandra
"The reason I decided to run for In Motion is because I value the importance of providing children with extra curricular activities.
As a former NYC public school teacher I have seen first-hand the budget cuts that have affected the city's schools and the first programs which
are usually axed are the expressive arts programs. That's why In Motion's work is so valuable as it provides these
at-risk inner city students with an experience they will always value and never forget." -
David
"I'm running because I believe exploring, participating, and experiencing the arts should be a democratic experience. Too few
resources are dedicated to making sure all children develop their artistic talents. I'm running to make sure great non-profits
like In Motion remain well funded to support the cause. Running has been great exercise in discipline and commitment."
