I’m going to run a first (and last!) marathon on 9/11 - the Big Cottonwood Canyon Marathon. It’ll hurt, but not as much as millions of patients with joint disease hurt every single day.

I hope to raise much-needed funds for Operation Walk to continue their amazing work and wanted to pay tribute to the founder, Dr. Larry Dorr who sadly passed in late 2020 and to all of the people who give their time and expertise so generously to help others.
