I am fortunate to have been born and raised in the San Francisco area, living in one of the most beautiful homes in the entire world, (known as the "Painted Ladies"). Throughout my life I have seen as many changes happen to the Bay Area. I want to make sure this beautiful place I call home continues to be appreciated by others for years to come. This perfectly aligns with the special event being held by the San Francisco Marathon. Not only can you support me in achieving my fitness goals but together we can give back to preserve the beautiful Victorian and Edwardian homes that were built between 1849 and 1915. These homes need to have work done on their foundation and bright colors of red, blue, yellow, chocolate and orange, painted to their exteriors so they can be enjoyed by all.
