Run 192

Blizzards may be tough to run through, but they sure make my street look pretty!

: Washington, DC, United States; While undergoing chemo treatments in Boston in 2004, I knew if I was lucky enough to get healthy again, I needed to do my part to help inspire my friends who are/were/will be stuck in the hospital just like me. I wanted to come back from treatments stronger than ever to prove cancer can actually be a blessing in many ways. Thanks to an amazing network of friends and supporters, I have raised over $200,000 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston through my post-cancer running adventures. Even more important than the money will hopefully be the inspiration a few of my fellow patients will feel when they read about my adventures. As my new running plans and goals develop over the years, the #1 reason for every step I run remains the same: To inspire cancer patients everywhere to make two fists when they wake up every morning and keep fighting!
