Childhood Cancer Delaware License Plate
It couldn't be more simple for Delawareans to help spread awareness about childhood cancer. It won't even cost you anything extra for the plate! There's no reason not to apply today. Once we get 200 completed applications, production will begin. PLEASE fill out an application (or several...one for each car) today by clicking on the link below. Thank you, Ali, for working on this project with DelDoT for the past 4 years!!!

B+ Running Team - Registration Open for Delaware Marathon/Half/Relay
Who wants to join us for the Delaware Marathon/Half Marathon/Relay Marathon on Mother's Day, May 10th in Wilmington? As you know, we run one local marathon (Delaware) in the spring and one destination marathon in the fall. In the past, we've done the Hamptons, Las Vegas, and Disney.
The Delaware Marathon/Half is a great event and we've lowered the fundraising requirement for this event to $1,999. It's so easy when you use social media, events, and all of the other ideas that we'll share with you. And, we cover your registration cost, provide you with a personal running coach, tech shirt, night-before team dinner, and so much more.
And, as a guy who would have told you "I HATE RUNNING" one year ago, I am living proof that it's 90% mental and 10% physical. Ali and I have not been converted into people who love running, but we just set our minds to it and trained. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you decide to get the negative thoughts out of your head...and run in 4 minute increments! :) I CANNOT describe the euphoric feeling of accomplishment as I crossed the finish line with my daughter at the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon last November.
Please join our team...you'll have fun, accomplish the unthinkable (for some of you), and help us fight childhood cancer.

Thank you, Kendall, for selecting The B+ Foundation as your charity to feature for your Girl Scouts philanthropy badge. Kendall gave all the girls in her troop B+ wristbands, B+ cards, and told the story of Andrew and the mission of The B+ Foundation. Kendall, thanks for being part of The B+ Foundation and for introducing us to your friends.
A Note for You
Allow me to share a note that I received for you:
"Dear members of The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation. I don't have enough words of gratitude for the help you provided my son and I. With the money you sent my landlord, my rent debt decreased. You have taken a big worry from us. I can now lay down next to my son with a peace that you have provided. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for being that little light at the end of this dark tunnel we walk through. I have no idea how I can ever re-pay this kindness of yours. God bless each and every one of your families." Jose's Mom
That's a big part of what we do...what YOU enable us to do. And, unfortunately, there's so much more to do.
Thank you.
Ali & Andrew's Dad
