2011 Marine Corps Marathon
Why I run:
Simply because I can. Some people think I'm insane, but I love to run. Every time I lace up my sneakers, it's a new challenge. It's an opportunity for me to outrun myself, to push myself harder. And who doesn't love those cool race t-shirts?
Why I picked to fundraise for Alex's Lemonade Stand:
-
The causes of most childhood cancers are unknown. At present, childhood cancer cannot be prevented.
-
One in every 330 Americans develops cancer before the age of twenty.
-
Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States.
-
The causes of most childhood cancers are unknown. At present, childhood cancer cannot be prevented.
I only have to fight through 26.2 miles, a piece of cake compared to the diagnosis, treatment, and possible loss of a loved one, all battles that come with this disease. Help me raise $1,000 towards the cure, better treatments, and a few more birthdays.
