Marathon is launching an online auction to raise money for the Tsunami 
Relief Efforts. The auction can be accessed by logging on to

"Our hearts go out to everybody that was affected by the tsunami disaster," 
says Tim Lee, chairperson of the Grandma's Marathon board of directors. 
"Grandma's Marathon is an international event that strives to serve people 
across the globe. When something like this happens we feel it is important 
to do our part to reach out and help as much as possible."

The auction features ten items ranging from the highly sought after
