Let’s Run for Cancer!!
Its Marathon Time! Well at least a year from now in Disney World!!! This will be my second marathon and I have a few people joining me this time. My little brother (who’s not so little anymore) will be running the full marathon with me and I have recruited my parents to run the half marathon. I’m still working on recruiting my husband. Right now he wants to help cheer us on. 
My first marathon was in January of 2005 at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I ran with a group called Team in Training and we raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was one of the most incredible experiences in my life to know that I was not only running 26.2 miles, but I was helping to save lives. This year I haven’t signed on with a group yet, but I want to make a donation and raise money for a cancer society.
The backstory behind why I choose to run for cancer starts a long time ago when I was ten years old. My grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer in his early sixties. It was devastating news to the whole family. He was part of the glue that held everyone together and was the main provider for his family. After his diagnosis, he tried treatment after treatment, but the cancer continued to spread. When he died, I can honestly say it was the saddest day of my life. He was a such a strong, courageous, wonderful man. It was unbelievably heartbreaking and I being only ten years old at the time had my heart broken for the first time. I think with the advances in technology everyday that people like my grandfather can beat cancer. Today I remember all the great things about this man. My grandfather built a successful 60 acre farm and a four bedroom house with his bare hands. He was a hard worker , but still took the time to take to pick berries and search for arrowheads. He used to tell me all these wild tales about our ancestors that I believed for many years to come. I still believe I am an indian princess to this day! My grandfather still motivates me in so many ways, so to honor him I RUN to find a cure!
