Hi! I am thrilled to announce that I have teamed up with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) to fight childhood cancer. Founded by the parents of Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1994-2006), ALSF prides itself on realizing Alex’s dream of eliminating childhood cancer.

Given this, I bet you are wondering how you can help me. Well, on October 11th, Team Lemon and I will take to the streets of the Windy City to run the Chicago Marathon. The training regime I have selected requires me to run 682 miles prior to the event. Adding the event brings the total up to 708 miles!

Each of you has an opportunity to sponsor me by donating a dollar for every mile I will run during a specific training week. For example, if you wanted to sponsor week 8 of my training, you would simply donate $20! Did I mention there is no limitation to the number of weeks you can sponsor? To help facilitate your selection, my training schedule is as follows:

Please be sure to include your name and a brief message highlighting the week(s) you are sponsoring.  Your donations will be used to fuel cutting edge research, make life saving treatments available, and provide lodging and travel for families that are battling cancer.

Thanks for helping make lemonade out of lemons!
