I'm running 100 miles to help the American Cancer Society fight for a world without cancer. This is a very meaningful cause for me. I lost my grandmother before I was ever able to make any memories of her, and my Uncle Ken was taken before I could truly appreciate the man he was. I dream that down the line these donations may not only benefit the well being of patients with cancer, but but the many people that they influence through their strength and persistence one of the most hellish battles known to man.

I am an inexperienced runner. This may be difficult for me to complete, but I will complete it. Because when my uncle was reaching the point of death, he always managed to have a smile on his face. Not only that, but he still managed to make others laugh, even though he was facing more pain than could be imaginable. He taught me a lot in his last year of life, but most importantly he taught me that you are not a product of your circumstances. Its all about mindset.

Your donations go to an amazing cause to fight against cancer, and help those who are fighting against it. You don't have to donate much, but every penny helps.

I will be matching the first $500 worth of donations
