Make A Difference with Your Miles!

My story...

In 2002, I ran the Boston Marathon for my mom, who was fighting cancer. She and my dad were waiting for me at the finish line.

Twenty-five years later, I’m going back. This time, my dad will be waiting without her.

My mom died of ovarian cancer in 2011. It is an incredibly difficult cancer to detect, treat and beat. And I’ve learned that fighting it affects an entire family.

That’s why I’m running with Team Teal for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.

NOCC supports families through the fight, providing meals, financial assistance, counseling and support groups for patients and caregivers. That last part hits especially close to home. I watched my dad care for my mom through an exhausting, frightening and often lonely journey. No caregiver should have to navigate that alone.

NOCC also supports research to find better ways to detect and treat this devastating disease.

So I’m setting a big goal: $25,000 for 25 years.

When I reach the finish line in Boston, I’ll be running toward my dad, carrying my mom with me every step.

Please help me turn 25 years of memories into something that can change another family’s future. And if you can make a donation, thank you!!!
