26.2 miles to go for brain cancer Posted on September 18th, 2008
OK, so you all know that I ran last year’s Marine Marathon with my friends Amir and Jodi. And this year, we plan to run it again with additional friends. But this year, I am running for two reasons. First, to show myself that I can do it after brain surgery (which I know I can do) … and second, to raise money for brain cancer research. So, at my office, where many, many people work, I am asking folks to donate money to the National Brain Tumor Society on my behalf to sponsor my run. And I will also ask all of you out there reading this blog to do the same if you can. My goal is to raise $25,000 for this run and I’m hoping you will help me by going to the buttons on the bottom of my home page and donating by following the instructions on the buttons.
I am running the Marathon this year for all who suffer from oligodendrogliomas. You know that Melissa Etheridge song, “I Run For Life?” … ” I run for hope, I run to feel. I run for the truth for all that is real. I run for your mother, your sister, your wife. I run for you and me my friend. I run for life.” Well, that is why I am running this year … for all of us.
