Sep 25, 2014

On March 20, 2012, Joanna Rob, my sister-in-law Katie's sister, passed away after a 9 month battle with acute myeloid leukemia.  Just 34 years old and the mother of a 14 month old, Joanna's passing was the definition of tragic.

 

In memory of Joanna, both Ken and I are running the New York Marathon on November 2nd to raise money for Team in Training.

 

We know you can help us do incredible things like save the lives of blood cancer patients! As part of a team, you can help us do even more like help advance promising therapies into permanent cures; but that takes time and help, your help!

 

Please click on the links to the right of the page to donate.  Thank you for your support!

"Ken & Yael, I am so touched by your effort to run on behalf of Joanna. I think about Joanna often and to be honest, have felt sad that I have not done more to celebrate her beautiful spirit. She was so much fun and such a presence at our family get-togethers . . . always dancing with Katie in the kitchen, making fun of Alex or laughing (that infectious laugh) at her father's mischevious ways. I miss them both! Anyway, thank you again for running and organizing this fundraising initiative. It gives me a feeling a pride as well as a sense of peace. Lots of luck for your final days of training and lets get together when I'm in New York for Thanksgiving. Until then, keep training . . . the chafe will end soon! - Olivia "
