Any race could be a life-changing event - but my next big race will be a lifeSAVING event, as part of the American Cancer Society DetermiNation team. I am achieving things I never imagined I could accomplish. I'm running a half-marathon, and I'm hoping you'll support me in my efforts.

This year I will celebrate my 5 year cancerversary, which is a huge milestone for any cancer survivor.  In addition, it will be John's and my 20th wedding anniversary.  What better way to mark such occasions than to run 13.1 miles and raise money for the ACS!  My goal is to raise $100 for each of my years before my cancer diagnosis.

It's up to us to change the course of cancer - and I believe in the work the American Cancer Society is doing to save lives. Every day, they're helping people stay well and get well, they're funding and conducting research to find cures, and they're rallying communities to join them in fighting back. More than 11 million Americans who have a history of cancer will celebrate another birthday this year. Please support me with a donation so that together, we can help save lives and create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

If I can survive ovarian cancer, I can run a half-marathon!
