My daughter, Annabelle, was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma in September 2013 at 5 months old. She received chemotherapy treatment for 13 months plus radiation and surgery. I began training for this half marathon with a couch to 5K program while she was still sick, but I am THRILLED to say that now she is 4 months CANCER-FREE! Praise The Lord! I watched my precious baby fight this cancer with such bravery, resilience, and joy! Despite overcoming a broken pelvis during my last 4 months of training (and being cleared two weeks ago by my doctor to run again), I will be giving it my best attempt in less than 2 weeks, to complete the Disney Princess Half Marathon...my very first 1/2 marathon!  I will be running honor of my little fighter, Annabelle! Her strength to overcome and persevere has been and will continue to be my inspiration and motivation! I'd like to invite everyone to join me in raising money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in honor of Annabelle. The research funded by Alex's Lemonade is crucial to continually improving treatment and ultimately reaching a 100% cure rate for childhood cancer. Please consider donating $13.10 or $131.00 in honor of the 13.1 miles I will be running (or attempting to at least!) on February 22!
