Hi there. If you know me, you know that I have been running for a little over a year now. I started running for me, to find myself and believe in myself. Crossing the finish line of my first race proved that I can do anything I set my mind to. Now I am stepping up my game. It's time for me to run for someone else--all the children affected by cancer.

I was looking through NPOs to support and couldn't help but cry a little when I read about Alexandra, a little girl who was diagnosed with cancer, and during a temporary remission, vowed to start a lemonade stand to help kids like her. Unfortunately, Alex passed away at only 8 years old, but her mission and spirit are still very much alive. I want to be part of Alex's Lemonade Stand and run for this little girl and every other little girl and little boy affected by this disease. I have committed to running 20 miles and raising $2000.

If you know me, again, you know I run. You also know I ask very little from the world other than to be positive, love life, and come to me if you need help. Now I need your help. Please donate to my cause. Forget any birthday present, any round of drinks, any coffee for me and give it to this organization. I love you all and thank you.
