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 is something I am passionate about and I want to invite you to participate with me and help me reach my goal of 100 miles and $1500.
