Show Your Support!

Make a commitment to change a life with every check you earn this year. Start by supporting a fellow RE/MAX family member. A number of our agents are participating in some awesome events to raise money for some special charities. Please choose an agent (or agents) and help them in their journey to raise awareness and money for a good cause. Please take some time to read the pages they've made and the reason they've committed their time and resources to help these causes. Most of us can relate to at least one or two of these causes. Show thanks for your personal blessings by making a donation to one of these great causes.


1. http://danfordsrunforacure.com/ - Malcolm Fulford of Pelham has put his heart and soul into this awesome 5K run for two years in a row. I know I'll be running it and I'd love to see some other RE/MAX faces there as well! I hope you will join me in a run...a beer...and a good cause. Life is good!

3. Team Peaches Karen Couillard of Pelham. On June 26-27th I will be walking in The Out of Darkness Overnight in Boston, MA . This is a 20-mile journey from dusk until dawn. The Overnight raises funds and awareness to help end the stigma surrounding depression and suicide. I will be walking in memory of my good friend, Phil Tousignant who passed away on September 30, 2004. I'll be walking with Phil's wife Stephanie, his son Josh and his wife Amanda. We can be found on the Overnight website under "Team Peaches".... Peaches was his nick name. Attached is a picture of Stephanie and Phil. Each walker needs to raise $1,000 - that's why I'm asking for donations. I realize times are tough - so any amount is greatly appreciated.
