Real Medicine Running Group:
Every Thursday, 6:30 pm
Nike Store*
9560 Wilshire Boulevard
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
(310) 275-9998
RMF host: Emmanuel Urbano, emmanuel@realmedicinefoundation.org
*note: the group meets in the alley behind the store–but, don’t worry, according to Emmanuel: “it’s an alley in Beverly Hills so it is a really nice alley.”
One thing that we have learned in our first year building a running team is the importance of community, the importance of sharing your journey from the moment you buy your first pair of running shoes to the moment when you cross the finish line of your first race. When you run, especially when you are first starting out, it takes people to help you along the way. Keeping this in mind, we have created weekly running groups with the first group running each Thursday evening in Beverly Hills.
Thanks to the success of our 2010 team, we have been invited back as an Official Charity of the LA Marathon 2011.

Yesterday was the LA Marathon 2010 Wrap Meeting held at the Public Counsel. Ginger Williams, Director of Community Relations and Nick Curl, Race Director, with the help of Marti Baer, dedicated Charity Program supporter and coordinator of the Charity Expo Shared Booth, lead the meeting providing results from 2010 and exciting details for 2011. Here is a recap of some of that information.2010 Charity Program Success
Sunday March 21st, 2010, a total of 2985 runners ran on behalf of an Official Charity (1308 marathon, 1677 5K) raising a collective total of $1,949,079. Of the over 60 Charities in the program, Real Medicine is proud to be among the 15 charities with a team over 25 (we had 35 runners last year).
Thanks to our runners, walkers, volunteers, and generous supporters we have been invited back as an Official Charity for the 2011 LA Marathon!
This year our team was able to raise over $3000! Imagine what next year will bring.
We have already signed on a few runners who are interested in running with us. Please be in touch if you would like to join the list.

Dear Friends,
Help us build and man our LA Marathon Cheer Station!
As an Official Charity, Real Medicine is given the opportunity to decorate nearly 1/2 mile of the course in any way we would like. In support of the people in Haiti, we have decided to make our cheer station a statement of hope for Haiti. We are collecting solid color sheets and decorating them with messages of support and healing from the LA Community. Then, on race day we are going to hang them as a kind of tent city as a reminder that that there is still so much to be done for the people of Haiti, and also that there are still so many people here in the community who want to get involved and show their support.
Here is how you can help:
1) Collect and decorate sheets with classmates or friends

Last Sunday, January 17th 2010, six runners stepped forward to run the Mumbai Marathon on behalf of Real Medicine in an effort to help spread the word about world issues and what Real Medicine is doing to help.
Thanks to Rohit Chemburkar tags were made and handed out to runners interested in running for us. Rohit also took all the photos that you see.
This was the first official race that Real Medicine has participated in while we gear up for the LA Marathon on March 21st, 2010. As an official charity of the LA Marathon Real Medicine is building a team of runners to run on our behalf and a team of volunteers to help support runners from our Cheer station.
