Steve Garrott's Profile
This summer, I am excited to be participating in Run for Pathway, an initiative to help support Pathway Caring for Children’s mission to care for children throughout Northeastern Ohio. On June, 17th 2012, I will be running with the Run for Pathway team in Canton, Ohio, as part of the Canton Marathon’s inaugural races! As part of the run, I am raising money in support of Pathway Caring for Children’s work – funds that will change the lives of children living in foster and adoptive homes.
Pathway’s mission is to empower children and families to realize their potential and achieve the possibilities of their lives through innovative mental health, foster care, and adoption services.
I am asking you to come on board and support my campaign, along with Pathway’s mission. My goal for the campaign is to raise $1,500. With your help, I can reach this goal.
Join me in supporting Pathway Caring for Children’s work – you can be confident that your donation will help make a lasting difference in the life of a child.
Many thanks for your support,
Steve Garrott
WHY IS THE CANTON MARATHON A SPECIAL RACE FOR YOU?
I basically grew up on Malone University's campus and am very familiar with the sites of Canton. I have ran the Cleveland Marathon and Akron Half Marathon a few times, but I am really excited to run in Canton because I know the area and it will be a great experience!
WHAT MADE YOU SIGN UP TO RUN FOR PATHWAY?
Pathway is a fantastic organization which works tirelessly to make a difference in each child's life they come in contact with. There is such a need for a company that offers foster care and adoption services in which you can trust. The support I raise through this race is the least that I can do to help Pathway continue to offer the healthy foundations and support that these families and children require.
WHAT IS ON YOUR IPOD WHEN YOU ARE TRAINING?
Not Yanni or Kenny G! Right now I am listening to Jay-Z, Lecrae, Drake, Rocky Soundtrack and Linkin Park. Needless to say, there is a lot of Hip-Hop on my iPod to get the legs going and the heart pumping!
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF ADVICE FOR YOUR FELLOW RUNNERS?
Remember, no matter how slow you are, you are still lapping the couch potatoes!
