I have always dreamed of one day running a marathon. Groupon posted that oppertunity for me not only running a marathon, but at half the cost. Later on I found out that i would be raising awareness for lukemea as well. I thought wow, I'm running a marathon, training with a running club an i have an oppertuinty to help cure cancer. I thought there could not be a better oppertunity for me with the groupon purchase. Half the price of most running events and train with a running club ( or so I thought). I had a chance to meet an extrotinary grow of people that I will stay in touch with for the rest of my life. Reading the groupon it states to pick from the number of marathons, train and learn the in's and out's of a marathon. That sounded like the groupon for me. Two months into training the group was asked to sign an recommitment letter. Read through the letter I find out you had to raise $2500. Now the challenge comes if you do not fill your obligation of $2500. Prayor, you have to give a blank check or your credit card information. This is if you do not meet your commitment. The funds will be deducted from your credit card or personal bank account. I'm all for a great cause, which this. However, in this economy I found it quite difficult to bare the finical commitment. I wish the advertisment would have been more forward with the discription. The good thing is, I met great people and I'm still on track to complete a marathon.
