I’m an American Cancer Society Charity Runner athlete!

Since I ran the P.F. Chang's 1/2 Marathon a few years ago, I have wanted to challenge myself with a full Marathon.  The following year, I was sidelined with shin splints for much of my training and the next year I had Spencer in December.  Makes it kind of hard to run in January!  Since having him, I have made it a mission to run in a full Marathon, and I knew this was the race for me. 

As I was pondering my training for the Marathon in January, I came upon the ACS booth at the gym.  For me, it was a no-brainer.  Living with someone battling cancer and seeing how it's affected the lives of everyone I know and love in some way, I knew I had to dedicate my training and race efforts to support the American Cancer Society. Fighting cancer will make every mile more meaningful to me.

Together, we are making a difference.

Like endurance race aspirations, the American Cancer Society is also attacking difficult goals, including preventing cancer and diminishing suffering from the disease.Like me, the Society is putting in a great deal of effort to make these difficult goals possible and to save more lives. I am going to meet my goal of finishing this race to help them meet their goal to end cancer.

Please support me.

In addition to the finishing the race, I am striving to raise money in support of the American Cancer Society. I know that many of you already give to several organizations, maybe even the fight against cancer, so please know that any contribution would be greatly appreciated. Every dollar truly makes a difference. Donating online is easy, and you can donate now. Please help me honor the people who have been touched by cancer, and to bring hope to those currently facing the disease.
