2008 Komen Philadelphia Race for the Cure

JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER TODAY!

EVERY STEP COUNTS!

I am participating in the Race with the hopes of raising as much money as possible to provide for research programs in our area.

One in eight women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime. The Komen Philadelphia Race for the Cure® raises money to fund education, screening and treatment programs for these women and thousands of others in our own community and supports the national research for a cure.

The Komen Race for the Cure® Series is the largest series of 5K run/walks in the world. Since its origination in Dallas in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure® Series has grown from one local race with 800 participants to an international series of 115 races with more than 1.3 million participants.

Please support my race efforts by visiting my personal website. Together, we will win the race for a cure against breast cancer!

About Me

I became involved with Team In Training during the Spring 2007 season by training for the New Jersey Marathon in Long Branch, New Jersey. Prior races include several 5K and 10K events, and one half marathon. Training for an endurance event takes a lot of commitment, courage, and vision. Looking back on my casual running experience for the past two decades, I never imagined training for a marathon! Through Team In Training, I found a great training program, developed new friendships, and made a significant impact by raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma from taking more lives. I am continually inspired by our featured team heroes and the personal stories from friends, family, and teammates that were shared during my initial fundraising for the cause. Please enjoy reading the past stories of my experience.
