Hello faithful members of the Gary Smith Race & Charities community. Last December, one of you generously made a donation to us through your work via the Benevity Company. To date we have not received the funds and Benevity will not disclose the name of the donor - you. We would very much like to know who you are so we can thank you. We appreciate you very much !
Not so much the Benevity Company. Future donors to any cause beware of Benevity.
Run as hard as you can and let your heart take you the rest of the way.
Best WIshes, Niki
