This cause is near and dear to my heart as I have, first-hand, been affected by someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. My sister, whom I never had the chance to meet, died when she was three months old from a brain tumor. My father was also diagnosed with squamous cell cancer and died when I was 19. This run, this foundation, and this cause are something I am passionate about and I want to invite you to participate with me and help me reach my goal of over 100 miles and $1200. 

Over the past year I have had the honor of becoming more involved in this foundation.  Here are some more of my "Why's".

*The amazing kids

*Amazing families

*To help find a cure for a disease that little kids should not have to fight.

There are so many more, but those are a few.
