HI! Yes, I am the Race Director of this race. It's my 'baby'.
Also yes, I am a cancer survivor.
Over the past 11 years this race has raised close to $400,000 for Cancer Connection. It sounds like a lot, but over 11 years, it's really not. Please help me make a bigger impact in 2022. I can't run the race with the group, because, I'm really busy that day. But, I can and I WILL run it the week prior to the race and if I hit $10,000 on this page...I'll run it the week following as well. Believe me, running or walking is the easy part compared to those fighting cancer. It's a horrible disease, scary as ever and you know what....even runners can't outrun it.
Every single dollar raised is truly appreciated. No donation is too small!
Please help me in making this race be one of the biggest and best impact events for this beneficial cause!
Thank you!
Sue
