Who
You and I. Let's do this! Oh, who am I? I'm a marathon runner, and I used to think 26.2 miles was a long distance. But one morning last year I met Becky Mudd running along the San Diego Creek trail in Orange County, CA. I struck up a conversation and was awestruck by Becky's really long runs and her commitment to raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research, which I learned from her is very underfunded compared to adult cancer.
A year later I'm happy to call Becky a friend, and while I'm leaving the super long runs to her, I'm organizing this event to celebrate the completion of her recent long run and to help her with her fundraising campaign. I hope you will help too!

Where and When
We will celebrate with Becky at Moulin Bistro, French Bakery & Cafe* in Newport Beach, CA on Wednesday June 29th from 6 to 8pm.
Why
If Fench pastries aren't reason enough, get this: On Saturday June 11th, Becky Mudd completed an epic 400-mile run across Utah in 15 days. Last year she completed a similar run across California. Why does she do this? Is she crazy? Maybe, but she undertakes these punishing runs to raise awareness for childhood cancer and to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. That is a wonderful kind of crazy!
What
All are welcome to come hear Becky talk about her run and ask her your burning questions (6:30pm). Fundraising festivities include a cheese & charcuterie mixer (6pm), a Huggable Hope Duck auction (6:45pm), FREE prize-drawings (7:15pm no purchase/donation required to participate), professional photo ops (6:15pm, 7:20pm), and a fabulous 3-course chef's dinner (7:30pm).
In addition to the edible donation-perks mentioned above, Moulin's delicious French bakery food, beverages and desserts are available for purchase until 7pm.
Donation
Proceeds from the event will be donated to PCRF through Becky's PCRF fundraiser page to help reach her goal of $10k. Only the expenses for the perks and some party decorations will be paid before the rest is donated. The prizes for the free prize drawings are all donated items.
The proprietor of Moulin, Laurent Vrignaud, is giving us a great discount on food and drink for the perks, allowing over 50% of your contribution (even at the Super Early Bird levels) to be donated to Becky's PCRF campaign! So give with confidence and enjoy your perk!
How
Contribute here on this page if you can attend the party and would like to enjoy a party perk as well as benefit Becky's campaign. See the column on the right for the available perks.
If you cannot come to the party, you may donate directly to Becky's campaign through Becky's PCRF fundraiser page, and that would be awesome!
Limits! Act Fast!
Please note that the mixer and dinner perks are limited in number. See the top of the descriptions in the column to the right for number claimed and remaining.
After the limited perks are all claimed, we are still happy to accept your contribution and see you at the event. The Happy Ticket perk is unlimited and you may add an additional donation to your contribution amount after selecting a perk. Or simply click on "Contribute" near the top right to contribute with the option to pass on the perks.
Your contribution will help cover expenses so we can send more to Becky's PCRF fundraiser. If you do not plan to attend, we hope you will donate directly to Becky's PCRF fundraiser.
