Being the only girl in my family, my mom was very special to me. Unfortunately my mom was taken much too young - at the age of 48. There is not a day that goes by that she does not cross my mind . I enjoy triathlons and when the opportunity to race and raise money for this cause came my way, I decided to participate.

If there is a chance for another mom, sister, daughter, aunt and friend to live a day, month, year or decade longer because of this research, then count me in to help out. I hope you would like help out too. Thank you...
