O n Monday April 17th runners Al,  Andrea, Bo b and Natasha 
conquered the famous Boston  Marathon in su pport of our young people! 
We loved cheering them on and seeing their energy as they made their way through  the course. Their dedication and commitment to  SLM  has been truly inspiring and we cannot thank them enough for everything they have done on behalf of our young people. Toge ther they have raised over $27,000 to support our program ming here at Silver Lining Mentoring! 


"I am glad and proud to have reached this goal but I want to make it clear that
what I did is not as sensational as what you do every day.  Honestly I can say that knowing 
SLM and all of you was been something special  for me" -Andrea
