I ran for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society back in 2014. 

I ran for cancer in general, cause if we can conquer one, we can be on our way to conquer them all.

Over the past couple of months it has hit closer to home.

My brother in law, Brad, whom is more like a brother to me has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 B-Cell Lymphoma.

Getting the call from my husband hit hard and all you want to do is help but, you constantly ask yourself "How?"

 Brad is currenlty in treatment with consistant trips to the Cleveland Clinic, in good spirits and one of the strongest people I know. Without the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's research and mission, he would be not be getting the treatments he currently is receiving.

It can be better. 

When I first started running, I never could imagine being part of a major marathon.

So, I am taking on a new challenge. My third full marathon and first Abbott at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon to raise funds and awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 

I am asking for your help, to join my team and support Brad, and all those that are affected by this and any type of cancer. 

Let's Fight This.
