The Phoenix Heat
The journey to the ING New York City Marathon is finally here. On Sunday, the "Phoenix Heat" runners will join more than 35,000 other people all striving for the same goal to cross the finish line.
It's been a long couple of months, but the Phoenix team is ready for this 26.2-mile challenge. We wish them the best of luck and will update their progress.
Coming up this month ... we'll start featuring runners preparing for the P.F. Chang's race in Arizona next January.

Running for charity
Join the Phoenix Heat "Fab Four" -- Ed Baker, Eric Chebi and Michelle Corr -- along with Chicks4Change in their commitment to raise life-saving dollars, education and awareness in the fight against childhood obesity as they support the New York Road Runners Foundation's Team for Kids for the ING New York City Marathon.
Please join us for our upcoming fundraisers "Second Sunday Summer Wine Sampling" Sept. 10 at Outback Old Town and Oct. 8 at Methode Bistro. All proceeds will benefit www.TeamforKids.org.
Team for Kids provides fitness, health and nutritional programs for 15,000 at-risk children across the country who have little or no access to physical education. Childhood obesity is a national health crisis, leading to such diseases as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 3 causes of death in the United States. Our goal is to raise $25,000 with your generous support! Event information is available and donations are graciously accepted by visiting www.Chicks4Change.com and clicking DONATE.
