Marathon Friday Shout-Out!

This post goes out to all of our runners for the Pittsburgh Marathon. You guys are truly awesome. You can see the whole team by clicking here. A special thank you goes out to Ron Weber. He introduced us to signing up as a charity for CTS and has brought in over $500 worth of pledges thus far. Thanks RON! Ron is pretty serious about the marathon and The Call to Serve. He even got a tattoo to show how pumped he is.

New Video Up.

We’ve been having a lot of screenings lately of the documentary. Eventually, we’ll post it on the website but for now, enjoy this video. It highlights some of our experiences along the road.

Thank you Skysight Photography

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Autumn of Skysight Photography for allowing us to have a documentary screening at her studio. The film was perceived extremely well and we are excited to start showing it at colleges. Thanks to everyone who came out.

BIG NEWS!!!

“The Call To Serve has partnered up with Bridge City Films to produce a feature length documentary, profiling our 2010 journey.  We are very excited to share our experiences with the world and hope this will inspire others to answer the Call to Serve.”

Still snowed in..

It’s still snowing in Pittsburgh. The RV aka The Warrior is surrounded by 2.5 feet of snow. We cleaned her up a bit yesterday. Enjoy!

CTS Meets the Pittsburgh Marathon

You heard it here. We are running the Pittsburgh Marathon (just the half) and are registered as an affiliate charity. It’s kind of a big deal, we think. We need runners. It’s a great way to get involved and it’s for a good cause. You do not have to run full marathon. You can do a half or a relay with 5 other people. We are asking our runners to pledge $200. This number is not set in stone. If you are unable to raise that amount, we still want to run with you. Support is raised through family and friends. Fundraising deadline is April 1st. We will send you sample letters to send out. It’s pretty simple. If interested please contact adam@thecalltoserve.org ASAP. By registering with The Call to Serve at pittsburghmarathon.com (register code: SERVE2010), you are guranteed:

ENTRY INTO MARATHON (Official Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon bib number)
INVITATION TO PRE-MARATHON PASTA DINNER (the night before the marathon)
PRIORITY RACE PACKET PICK-UP (marathon weekend – no standing in lines!)
RACE-DAY SUPPORT (Includes area to meet before race, food and water, cheering groups,
complimentary post-race massage and more)

To Motivate you, we made this Video. Enjoy.

Hangin with the Norwin Rotary

On Monday, I was fortunate enough to speak to the Norwin Rotary Club about The Call to Serve.  I spoke to the Rotarians about how Adam and I came up with the idea for CTS, the amazing experience we had last summer on our inaugural mission trip, and our plans for the future.  Check out the picture that was featured in their newsletter.

Happy Holidays

Watch out y’all. We will be taking 2010 by storm. Golf Outing, Kickball Tournament, Bingo (yes, that’s correct, BINGO), Documentary Screenings, and Volunteer opportunities galore. Stay tuned. Have a great new year.
