Sue's 10K For Sparrow's Nest
Donation protected
As most of you know, my beautiful cousin Nancy Tsoubris lost her fight against lung cancer on April 17, 2016. Throughout her life, Nancy was dedicated to health and wellness, both emotionally and phsycially. She never lost that drive, even throughout her illness. Her postivity and healthy lifetsyle helped her be as strong as she was. In the midst of her treatment, she even ran a half marathon to raise funds for Sparrow's Nest.
From their website," Sparrow’s Nest of the Hudson Valley provides two meals, once a week, to the families of caregivers diagnosed with cancer. Caregivers are defined as legal guardians of children, under the age of 18, who are currently living in the caregiver’s home. Caregivers diagnosed with any cancer that requires chemo, radiation or surgery qualify. All recipients must live within a 20 mile radius of the charity’s health department-approved kitchen in Hopewell Junction."
This wonderful organization made Nancy's days a little less stressful as she was able to be assured that her family was having healthly dinners, prepared by someone else.
As I was making my donation in her honor after her death, I saw the link for this year's Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon! Most who know me ,know that I don't run much of anywhere except to pick up my kids or students when I am running late! Without giving it much thought, I emailed the director right then and there. I am truly grieiving the loss of my friend and I just realized that the best way to honor her is to get MYSELF into better health and call attention to this great organization that helped bring her so much comfort. After hearing from Krista, thank GOODNESS, she found me a spot on the 10 K race in Walt Disney World on the weekend of November 4-6th. Because I as much as I love Nancy, doing the mile run in school scares me! You can imagine what my head was saying about 13.1. My heart sometimes forgets to talk to the rest of my body! But I can train for this 10K and raise much needed money for this organization! Please help me reach my goal! I need motivation and money! I need 1000 by June 16th and the rest by Septmember 30th!* If you can give what ever you can, I would be so grateful!
*I am fundraising as a member of Team Sparrow for an upcoming 10K. Over 80 percent of your donation will go directly to the Sparrow’s Nest to provide homemade meals to the families of caregivers with cancer.
