Miles For McKenna
This summer (June 6th) I'll be running in a Marathon in San Diego in honor of McKenna Johnson. I'm asking for your support in this trek!
Here's the story. I've never met McKenna. I do, however, know her parents - Scott and Krista - quite well. I met them through many interactions at Maverick's Wood Grill. They are awesome people and throughout getting to know them, I feel like I've also got to know their daughter.
McKenna passed away November 27, 2007 at the age of 10 after a battle with Lymphoma. You can get to know McKenna through reading her CaringBridge journal at http://www.caringbridge.org/mn/mckenna.
I got involved with Team In Training after Scott and Krista had shared their story with me. Maverick's has been a conduit through which they have been able to fundraise; you may have seen their "CANCER SUCKS" T-shirts if you have hung around Mav's enough! Their story has impacted our entire staff. This Christmas, our staff went out and donated a bunch of gifts to Childrens Hospital in memory of McKenna.
A couple months ago, Scott started bugging me to get more involved, and to run the Rock 'n Roll marathon in San Diego with he and Krista. How could I say no? So please support us in ending finding a cure to this - CANCER SUCKS!
