Dear Friend,

Have you ever felt that you were running as fast as you could, but always seemed to come in last in the race? 

When folks first come to Work In Progress for help in finding and keeping a job, they often feel this way, often despite having outstanding abilities.  Work In Progress gives them that extra burst of speed to catch up in the race, running with pride alongside the other runners.

On April 15, 2012,  Work In Progress will take part in the Palmetto Half Marathon.  This year however we are proud to be chosen to be one of the nonprofits agencies to receive funding from the proceeds of the race.

Work In Progress provides job placement and ongoing support to people with mental illness.  We treat others with dignity, respect and compassion. We assist work candidates with obtaining employment opportunities that match what they would like to do for their employment future. Working assists individuals with increasing their self esteem, recovery, financial stability and decreasing poverty.

You can make the difference for a worker with mental illness who is running hard to stay in the race.  Pledge today by visiting our Fundraiser and Donation page or visiting www.PalmettoHalfMarathon.com 

Your support of Work In Progress in the Palmetto Half Marathon will help put people back in the race, able to support themselves and their families while living with mental illness. 

Thank you for your generous support!

Sincerely,
Rosemary Hedden
Executive Director
