This January, I'll be doing something bigger than just a family vacation to Disneyland. I'll be running the Rebel Challenge during their Star Wars race weekend. That's a 10K on Saturday and a Half Marathon on Sunday. Why would I do this? Well other than being a huge Star Wars nerd (I mean I turned myself into an X-Wing fighter in my photo here!) and an avid runner, I'm joining with Team Lemon to help Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation move one step closer to finding a cure for all children with cancer! 
Every year, an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide. I'll be running in memory of one such child. Seth, the nephew of a dear friend, recently lost his brave battle with childhood blood cancer at only 5 years old. He started this fight just before his second birthday. As my friend updated me on his journey, I learned that he was a sweet little boy who maintained a positive attitude that seemed to keep everyone around him going when it felt so hard to continue. As many boys his age do, he considered Iron Man a hero but I'm honored to call him my hero. 
You can support me by visiting my page and making a donation. Absolutely everything thing helps! The money you donate will pay for research to find better treatments and cures for childhood cancer. Please help kids and their families by providing desperately needed hope! Thanks for your support!
