My beautiful niece Lauren was diagnosed with leukemia in September of 2009. She fought bravely for approximately ten months before being taken from us. I am running for the Rally Foundation to support childhood cancer research. Our children deserve every chance to live happy, healthy lives, and the Rally Folundation is working to make that happen.

Pediatric cancer is different than adult cancer and is the number one disease killer of kids’ ages 0-20. Rally Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is dedicated to raising funds to support childhood cancer research which is under-funded up to $30 million a year. Please join me with your donation and be a Champion for Childhood Cancer Research!

P.S. Please keep in mind that $0 of your donation fund my participation in the half-marathon, or my travel expenses. Your donations go directly to support the work of the Rally Foundation, and I've paid 100% of my costs to participate. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for your consideration of this very worthy cause.
