By participating in the race, you are not just throwing money at a problem. You are also dontating your time, your energy, and your legs and lungs to this cause. You aren't just an anonymous donor anymore--by actually participating, you are loaning your "face" to the cause. *That* inspires others and to borrow a cliche, helps you to raise awareness of the cause through your personal connections.
One day I hope to organize or help organize events like this for endometriosis and other "hidden" diseases.
