What is the name of your state? MA
I signed up to take part in a charity organization to train for a marathon and help raise money to support their cause. The deadline is just around the corner (and so is the marathon), I haven't been able to run for several weeks now because of an injury that I've been trying to treat with the advice of the coach (and I fell enough behind so I won't even be able to run the marathon). Because the marathon is at a resort destination, approximately 30% of the money we raise covers our travel expenses. I've only been able to raise about 25% of the required fundraising amount... Back in April, I signed a contract stating if I didn't raise their fundraising minimum, my credit card would be charged the difference due. Well, I still have a LOT of money to raise (about $3,600), and I know I won't be able to make it. I can't run the marathon and I want OUT of this program. They say that I can't get out of the program and that I'm liable for all of this money.
Is there any way that I might be able to get out of it? Thanks!
