In January of this year, my BFF Kathryn and I each participated for the first time in Disney's Marathon Weekend events Orlando. We had such an amazing experience that we decided to join forces next January to tackle BOTH the 5k and half marathon in support of Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Like last year, we will be running in honor of Wade Botteon (Kat's childhood sitter's son) and Cathy Frame (Pam's aunt) who died far too young from childhood cancers. 

Why this charity? Well, you may be surprised to find out (as we were) how underfunded childhood cancer research is. Every year, an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 worldwide. That's about 700 new kids affected every day. But, less than 5% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedciated to childhood cancers each year.

Together, we can help make a difference for these kids and their families and provide hope for a brighter future. Thank you for your support!
