Breast cancer recently took the life of my dear friend, Jess. Knowing her, laughing with her, and sharing life's joys with her has been a gift.

I am running 100 miles in the month of October in her honor, including the Hartford Marathon on October 11.

Please consider donating to this special cause.

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. ACS has a platinum rating on GuideStar (the highest possible), so give with confidence! Please consider making a donation because every little bit helps. Thank you for your support!
