i contributed along with my team, and then sent the following e-mail to john dye, i hope that it helps:
I don?t know if you have heard about Richard Kiplagat of Iona xc and track, who?s sister who needs $4,600 for a lifesaving heart procedure Kenya. A link to the story is here. A lot of people, especially from the letsrun.com message board have been sending donations, but I think that there are a lot of people in the HS running community who would donate as well if they knew about it. If you could put something up on your front page, it could mean a lot. A bank account where donations can be sent has been set up:
Agnes Kiplagat Fund
Wachovia Bank
Attention: Tyler Cardinal

Thank you very much. It is things like this that show how great the running community really is.
