I wanted to put up a post to let you all know that a few vegans in Nevada are trying to put together a veg*n team to run in the Los Angeles marathon on March 21, 2010. We are planning on making t-shirts, and getting the word out on a healthy, happy vegan lifestyle; showing that we can eat compassionately and still be athletes! I think this is a great message to get out to the world (blast the whole protein debate out of the water). 

We are talking about trying to get a fundraiser aspect in as well, donating the money to an animal sanctuary or charity. This would be a great way to meet some vegan runners, and participate in a great event. They also have a half marathon and a 5k run as well, if you would just like to participate, but not for the whole 26.2 miles! If you are interested AT ALL, contact me at matus.michelle@gmail.com. Come out for a great cause, and show the world that vegans rock!
