Marathon: Who will contribute? Who will back us up?

Louis and I were having a talk of doing the L.A. Marathon.

In order to participate, you really have to be trained. Some can train alone, others can't. Most people should in fact get trained professionally, by a real traininer. In order to get to that step, we must hire a trainer. However, the cost is $2000 each. Suppose each of us fund raise for the trainer. Who would back us up with contribution, if we will in return host a BBQ for those who contributed?

The $2000 (each) isn't for trainer. It's for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team. We need to come up with around $2000 to train with this team. They provide the training for us and we fundraise the money for them to find a cure to Leukemia and Lymphoma.
