!Hola!

I hope this email finds you well. I am doing great, but I need your help.

I have an awesome opportunity to study in C'adiz, Spain, https://www.wm.edu/as/modernlanguages/hispanic/studyabroad/cadiz/index.php for five weeks this summer to enhance my Spanish-speaking abilities and take classes toward my Hispanic Studies minor. All of this will contribute to my goal of becoming a foreign service officer serving the U.S. abroad. Cool, right?

This total-immersion experience at the University of C'adiz comes with a price tag$7,500 to be exact. Good news is that I received a $1,500 scholarship toward the program and Im contributing $2,000 of my savings. That still leaves $4,000. I am searching for a part-time job to cover some of this remaining cost. For the rest, Ive decided Im going to make a run for it!

Im asking you to sponsor my running throughout the semester at $0.50 or $1 per mile. Over the 14 weeks of the semester, I intend to run 6-9 miles per week. This would be approximately 84 to126 miles for the semester.

If youre willing to sponsor my journey through my running, please visit https://runsignup.com/Race/VA/Williamsburg/CdizorBust. If you dont want to sponsor my running, but would still like to support me financially for the trip, you can send a check or Venmo to my lovely parents.

Im really excited about this opportunity and would be very grateful if you could help me get there.

Ah'i te veo,

Meghan
