Running Guru Bill Rodgers to join in the 5th annual Run for Faith on Sun., August 23, 8:30 a.m.

August 16, 2015 // by admin

Bill Rodgers, the running legend who was the face of the running revolution in the 70s and 80s, will be participating in the 5th annual Run for Faith on Sun., August 23, 8:30 a.m. starting at the Plimouth Plantation.

Rodgers is the former American record holder in the marathon who is best known for his four victories in the Boston Marathon, including three straight 1978-1980 and the New York City Marathon between 1976 and 1980.

“Having Bill Rodgers join us for the Run for Faith is a thrill,” noted Matt Romboldi, one of the founders of the race run in memory of his mother, Faith “Marcy” Romboldi, who lost her battle with cancer in 2010. He added, “We wanted to try something different this year because Plymouth has become such a running destination and has so many road races, we wanted to try something different to give this year a big push. Bill will help us do that. When I was a serious runner I had a Bill Rodgers poster on my wall. He was among my inspirations. I’m sure other runners will be delighted to talk with him at the race this year.”

Fans will have the opportunity to buy an autographed copy of Rodgers’ recent book “Marathon Man: My 26.2-Mile Journey from Unknown Grad Student to the Top of the Running World” and to have a photo taken with him and snapped by local Plymouth photographer Dan Rapoza.

Rodgers won both races four times each between 1975 and 1980, twice breaking the American record at Boston with a time of 2:09:55 in 1975 and a 2:09:27 in 1979. In 1977, he won the Fukuoka Marathon, making him the only runner ever to hold the championship of all three major marathons at the same time. He made the 1976 U.S. Olympic team and raced the marathon at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, finishing 40th. He did not participate in the Olympics in 1980 due to the U.S. boycott over the invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR.

In its five-year history, the Run for Faith has carved out several niches. One of those is as a family-oriented road race that offers a more rural course than other Plymouth road races at a distance that presents a challenge for both novice and experienced runners. This year’s Run for the Faith, the fifth annual run, takes place on Sunday, August 23 at 8:30am, starting from Plimoth Plantation.

Run for Faith has added some extras this year. Those extras include a chip timing device for more accurate time tracking. This technology also triggers a camera along the course so runners can have a photo of themselves in action during the run.

The 4.58-mile Run for Faith loop captures spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay, the Eel River and scenic horse farms. The course features rolling hills and unmatched history. Water stations are plentiful and the event is professionally timed. Walkers are also welcome.

Post-race “light refreshments” will include bananas, oranges, bagels, muffins and scones. To amuse younger family members, a jumpy house will be available. A number of vendors will be on hand to sell their wares before and after the race.

During its five year history, the Run for Faith has raised more than $20,000 for Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care. The run has funded two annual scholarships for graduating high school seniors from Plymouth North High School and Plymouth South High School. The Plymouth Public Library and other local non-profits are also the beneficiary of funds raised by the Run for Faith.

One hundred percent of Run for Faith entry fees goes to these charitable efforts.

The entry fee for the Run for Faith is $25 for individuals. There are reduced entry fees available for members of Girls on the Go and South Shore Running Moms. Runners can register at www.runforfaithplymouth.org.

The Run for Faith is organized by Run for Faith, Inc., which is 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to commemorate the special life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi who gave so much of herself to both individuals and the community.

Faith, or “Marcy” as she was known by her friends and family, was a teacher, member of the Red Hat’s Society, Sweet Adeline’s, and Daughters of the American Revolution. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008. Marcy’s ability to fight this vicious disease with incessant might and unsurpassed grace will never be forgotten and surely serves as inspiration to those who were close. Mostly, Marcy will be remembered for her acts of kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness. Many will remember her for her two best accessories- a lovely hat and a radiant smile!

Bankrupt not banished. “Bankruptcy Division” helps rebound. Pre-Property Solutions launches new division to rekindle home ownership dreams.

August 15, 2015 // by admin

More than 910,000 people filed for bankruptcy in 2014, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute by Epiq Systems, Inc. Many people think that the bankruptcy designation will bar them from ever owning a home again. The “Bankruptcy Division” recently launched by Pre-Property Solutions based in both Newport, RI and Northborough, MA, provides new home ownership hope and opportunity for those who have previously fallen on hard time.

“There are many myths about bankruptcy and we help demystify them and get resilient people back to home ownership and back to growing community roots,” noted Chris Prefontaine, Managing Director of Pre-Property Solutions and a 24 year veteran in the real estate industry. “The Bankruptcy Division formalizes a best practices approach to repairing credit and credibility that we have learned over the past decades. Bankruptcy is not a dead end, it is a major speed bump that, with help, most people can hurdle.”

Prefontaine added, “We have dozens of success stories to prove that home ownership can be achieved even if you’ve experienced bankruptcy at some time.”

Pre-Property Solutions starts by connecting bankrupt buyers to a third party credit repair consultant who works with the buyer to repair their credit situation. Typically, the buyer is able to qualify for a conventional mortgage within 9 months to 5 years.

In addition, Pre-Property Solutions offers an alternative “rent to own” program. The enhanced program helps home seekers with poor credit, no credit and/or a limited amount to invest. The “rent to own” program is straight-forward. The buyer works with Pre-Property Solutions to determine the best down payment up front and over time.

During the credit repair process, depending upon the property, sometimes a portion of the monthly lease payment is credited to the purchase. If not, a Down Payment Assistance Program (DPA) is available to further assist the buyer. The DPAP outlines that the Lessee/Optionee has the right to put down additional funds towards their down payment and receive credit against the purchase price.

The rent to own program hinges on the fact that Pre-Property Solutions is a private real estate investor who buys and sells houses. All properties are either owned by Pre Holdings or the company has a purchase contract and/or option with the owner of the property, which Pre Holdings may assign to third parties or retains. Pre Holdings is not a real estate brokerage and does not provide realtor services to the public, or to any of the parties to which it has contractual relationships.

Pre-Property Solutions in some instances even pays cash for the home and can close in about a week if that best suits all parties. The goal is to create a win-win purchase that is good for everyone.

Pre-Property Solutions are not loan brokers, bankers, real estate agents or selling homes for someone else. The company are the owners or have a legal equitable interest in the property.

Pre-Property Solutions donates $100 of every home sale to the Franciscan Hospital for Children in Boston in the name of Nick Prefontaine, the son of Chris Prefontaine, who continues to benefit from their great work and who works in the business with Chris.

Pre-Property Solutions are members of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau. The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Pre-Property Solutions maintains two offices, one at 580 Thames Street, Newport, RI and another at 360 Church Street, Suite 230, Northborough, MA.

Batteries can be included. Apollo Safety introduces batteries offering.

August 12, 2015 // by admin

FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS

Apollo Safety, Inc., a veteran-owned, Fall River, Massachusetts-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently began selling batteries as part of its safety product offerings.

“We have customers who invest a fair amount of money in their carbon monoxide and other gas detection products but often don’t keep a supply of batteries on hand to ensure those devices—detection systems and handheld devices—are working at all times,” said John Carvalho, founder and president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “We began offering batteries so that our customers could stock up rather than waiting for the batteries to run out and then, ultimately, heading down to the local pharmacy or grocery store and paying more.”

Carvalho noted that many people are hesitant to buy more than a pack or two of batteries at a time for fear the batteries will lose their power if not used by a certain time.

“Batteries, just like a gallon of milk or any number of food products, come with expiration dates,” said Carvalho. “As long as you store the batteries correctly, they should last as long as the expiration date says.”

The range of battery life can vary, anywhere from five to 10 years depending on the model. Batteries should be kept in a reasonable cool environment, away from heat and humidity.

“Some people store batteries in the refrigerator. That may be a tad extreme, but keeping batteries at temps between 40 and 50 degrees will help. Extreme temperatures in either direction can shorten their shelf life,” added Carvalho. “You also do not want to store different types of batteries together. For example, mixing AAs and AAAs in a draw together will lessen their life expectancy.”

Sponsorship opportunities for 5th annual Run for Faith

August 6, 2015 // by admin

It’s no stretch to say the fifth annual Run for Faith, which commemorates the life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi, is welcoming to new sponsors. For more info, visit www.runforfaithplymouth.org. The race takes place on Sunday, August 23 at 8:30am at Plimoth Plantation.
