Dear Friends & Family,

 

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon on October 12, 2014. I am running to honor the memory of David Freedman who was a close family friend. He passed away on October 23, 1987 from Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). During his treatment, he had courageously fought this disease, having gone through several rounds of chemo, radiation, and ultimately had a bone marrow transplant. When David was diagnosed at the age of 16, he continued to be a scholarly student and star athlete at his school. I want to honor his courage and the example he left to all of his friends. He was a wonderful young man from a loving family and I have heard many inspiring stories about his life.

 

 

With your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families. I just finished my first marathon and was the third highest fundraiser in the Greater Bay Area. This time I want to be the highest fundraiser! I will reward the top 10 donors by wearing their names proudly on my race jersey.

 

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.


Thank you again,
 

Scott Rubenstein

"I was in high school with David as well, and admired him very much. It's amazing how we can be 'haunted' by memory -- nearly 27 years later I still feel very sad, remembering his untimely death; I can only imagine how his family and close friends feel. I'm reminded of a lovely -- albeit characteristically mordant and droll -- poem by Thomas Hardy that implies that we somehow help sustain in existence the spirit of a dead loved one, by refusing to forget them."

"Scott, We are overwhelmed by your dedication to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and its worthy mission. Honoring our son, David, is an example of what a loving and caring person you are. The monies that LLS gives out in research has made an enormous difference and will continue to for years. We only wish there had been a cure for David, but are glad that the research they provide has kept thousands of others alive. Thank you for keeping David's memory alive. We love you, Harvey and Deana"
