You have cancer!

I heard those words on January 2, 2009. I know firsthand what needles, x-rays, scans, nausea, surgery and more surgery feels like. Cancer patients learn to accept pain. I’ve seen my family’s sadness; the concern it caused my friends and the overwhelming cost of treatment. What I cannot imagine is a child having to go through what I did!

I remember days at MD Anderson watching little kids run around with their IV carts as if they didn’t have a worry in the world. The parents were never too far away and I could see the concern on their faces, the fear in their eyes. It seemed so unfair…

On December 30, 2015 – January 1, 2016, I will participate in the Snowdrop Foundation Ultra 55 Hour Race through the Sugar Land Memorial Park, in Texas. I intend to run, walk or crawl 100 miles for childhood cancer awareness. I attempted this distance last year but had to drop at 40 miles due to illness.  So, I am going to try again by giving it everything I have to help kids with cancer.

I have set a fundraising goal of $2000. Please help me achieve my goal. Proceeds from Ultra 55 Hour run will benefit Snowdrop Foundation. Snowdrop Foundation funds pediatric cancer research and college scholarships for pediatric cancer patients and childhood cancer survivors.
