Storm Chasers--
As many of you know, some in Gaelic Storm are known to be committed (and a little crazy) runners. We have run some marathons together in the past. In 2019, we ran the Milwaukee Marathon and raised nearly $10,000 for a great cause in Milwaukee.
This year, I'm excited to be running in my hometown of Chicago, IL in the Chicago Marathon on October 9. This year, I'll be raising money for Advocate Health Care, a great organization in Chicago. Advocate Health Care is a nonprofit health system, and they provide a wide range of healthcare programs. I'm earmarking the donations to support their work with people with Down Syndrome.
A little back story now. Outside of Gaelic Storm, I teach drums in the Chicagoland area. I've been lucky enough to participate in some of the music therapy programs through my work as a music teacher in my community. One of the organizations I've worked with is Helping Hand, which is another nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults with Down Syndrome in the greater Chicago area. They offer some amazing programs in education, employment, and therapy for these people.
I've been lucky enough to volunteer as a teacher in Helping Hand's music therapy programs, and have had a profound connection to the work and good that these programs do for people with Down Syndrome. And so, I am happy to be helping those with Down Syndrome, their families, and the caretakers who help them via Advocate Health Care.
This year I've set a personal goal of $10,000 to be raised. It's a big goal -- but I think the Storm Chaser faithful and their friends are up to it!
You can donate via Advocate Healthcare's website with a few clicks HERE.
I really appreciate your support -- even if it is just cheering me on during this 26.2-mile race, or helping spread the word.
Cheers,
Ryan
GO88 mình vô thử cho biết thôi, tại thấy bạn bè nhắc hoài. Ai ngờ mở lên nhìn khá “sạch”, bố cục chia phần rõ ràng nên không phải căng mắt tìm, lướt vài cái là biết đang có gì. Mình dùng điện thoại là chính nên hay ngại mấy trang nặng nề, mà bên này cuộn xuống vẫn mượt, bấm qua lại cũng nhanh, chắc nhờ họ làm theo kiểu HTML5 như trong phần giới thiệu. Mình cũng để ý họ có nhắc chuyện bảo mật SSL 256-bit nên cảm giác yên tâm hơn chút khi đăng nhập. Nói chung không màu mè, chữ tiêu đề to vừa đủ, các khối nội dung xếp ngay ngắn nhìn rất thoáng…
A lot of people tend to overlook how daily routines quietly build stress into the body, especially when long hours and constant movement are involved. That’s one reason I’ve been seeing more discussions about Foot Reflexology in Velachery lately. People describe it as a calm, steady form of relaxation rather than something intense or result-driven. Some also mention that places like Le Bliss Spa create a peaceful setting, which seems to influence how comfortable the overall experience feels.
Hi, I'm a passionate accounting and finance enthusiast interested in expanding my knowledge in taxation and business compliance. GST stands for Goods and Services Tax. It is a single tax system used in India to replace multiple indirect taxes. GST simplifies the process of buying and selling goods and services by maintaining a unified tax structure across the country. It supports smoother business operations and contributes to economic growth. GST has different tax rates for various products, and businesses must register and comply with GST regulations as their turnover increases. GST Training in Dindigul provides structured learning to understand GST concepts, including billing, tax filing, compliance procedures, and practical application for better career opportunities.
Hi, I’m a passionate accounting and finance enthusiast interested in learning Tally to strengthen my career skills. I’m eager to gain practical knowledge in managing financial transactions like sales, purchases, payments, and receipts. Tally is a powerful and user-friendly accounting software that helps generate important reports such as profit and loss statements while also supporting GST and payroll management. I’m looking forward to enrolling in Tally Course in Tirunelveli to gain hands-on experience and build a successful career in the accounting field.
Many people underestimate how helpful shared relaxation time can be for couples living in busy cities. I’ve come across discussions about a Couple Spa in Chennai where partners spend quiet time together in a calm spa environment. Experiences like that seem less about luxury and more about stepping away from everyday stress for a short while and returning to routine life feeling more balanced.
