Running For A Cause

Cancer.  Many of us know it as a killer.  A disease.

Definition, taken from www.dictionary.com

Noun

1.  Pathology.

a.  A malignant and invasive growth or tumor, especially one originating in epithelium, tending to recur after excision and to metasize to other sites.

b.  any disease characterized by such growths.

2.  any evil condition or thing that spreads destructively; blight.

I recently lost an uncle to Cancer.  Someone near and dear to me managed to recover from cancer.  My wife recently had a cancer scare, and more recently, we lost Emma to cancer too.

So here I am thinking.  What can I do?  How can I help?  Then, while attending a Chairity event, I found my calling.

I decided that I should be a Charity Athlete.  I should try to raise funds to help fight this killer.  I am not a doctor, nor am I anywhere near being a medical professional who would know what to do or how to cure this disease.  So, since I have my health, and I have my passion for running and keeping fit, I decided to sign up to be a charity athlete.

I had already signed up for 3 runs (with the first one being tonight), what better way to give myself another awesome reason to finish these runs.  Maybe I could even add more runs to that and see if I can raise more money.

So, if you are reading this post, find it in your heart to follow the link, and donate to my cause.  The cause of fighting this crazy disease which I hope, with the right kind of support, we will be able to find the cure to this killer, or at the very least, help those who are trying their best to fight this killer.

Any amount would be very much appreciated, not just by me, but by the people who will eventually benefit from your kind donation.

I look forward to seeing your donation and thanking each and everyone of your personally.  But just in case, I am going to thank you all in advance, now.

THANK YOU! FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

The link to my donation page is here.

I will be updating you guys with my race reports so look out for the first one tomorrow after I have recovered from the run.  And, if you are running tonight too, hope to see you along the route and good luck for the run.  Don’t forget to wave and say hi!
