Thank you so much for reading this blog which detailed my preparation for my first ever marathon and also fundraising for Haiti effort. I raised over $1000 for Haiti by runnning that marathon, which was very gratifying. Of course, the need for assistance in Haiti remains constant. Many people are still living in tent cities more than 2 years after the earthquake. Currently, (April, 2012) Haiti Allies is raising funds to sustain a feeding program at an elementary school in Cite Soleil and to move an entire tent city to the site of a new village created by the government. With just $200 each family receives a safe, strong, secure home along with a small plot of land for gardening. To donate to the ongoing efforts of Haiti Allies, go to

After the marathon in May, 2010, I took some time off from writing on my blogs in order to take a sabbatical June-August, 2010. During that sabbatical, it became abundantly clear that I needed to focus time and effort on developing my singing voice and pursuing singing publicly in and around Madison.
In January, 2011 I began taking voice lessons and shortly thereafter met a pianist with whom I've been doing fundraising concerts for Haiti Allies and also for other non profit groups in the Madison, WI area. So far, our concerts have raised more than $6,000 for Haiti! This has been an incredibly fulfilling experience so far. If you are interested in learning more about our musical efforts, you can find us in my website http://www.tishabrown.com
Again, thank you for reading. I hope to see you on my website or even at a concert sometime soon!
