Help me help Philly kids get in shape!

Not sure if this is allowed here... but hopefully it is. I don't really post on here but sometimes read, and everyone seems really supportive so I figured I'd give it a go!
I am currently in my sixth year teaching in inner city Philadelphia. I have been participating in some form of distance running since I was 12 years old. I now teach middle school, but when I taught high school, I was also a track coach.
A few weeks ago my mom (gtahvfaith- friend her!!! :-)) ran the Philly Rock n Roll half marathon- her first- and I was so inspired that I decided to do something similar.
That being said, I'm going to be running the Philly Half on Nov. 14th to benefit Students Run Philly Style, a program that encourages inner city Philadelphia kids to get started in running. This program motivates many high school students to run half and even full marathons, and causes their self esteem to soar.
Here's the thing- I need to raise $500 to meet my fundraising goal, and I'm only 22% of the way there.
Please please please PLEASE help me out (and the kids of Philly) by donating to our cause! I appreciate anything you can give :-)
