My Fundraising Page
Apr 20, 2017
Dear Friends and Family,
Last year I completed my first marathon in NYC, checking off a long-time goal on my “to do” list. It was the most difficult athletic challenge of my life, but ever so satisfying to cross the finish line in 3:38, just three minutes shy of the Boston qualifying time. I immediately decided that I had to run again to qualify for Boston.
A lot has happened in the past few months. My father was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in December and has been winning the fight against this rare type of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I am confident that he will continue to conquer his cancer and will be back in Cape May this summer, healthy and strong!
On March 18th, we are also celebrating my mother's 8th year cancer-free from leukemia. She had her best year ever in 2016 and has been feeling great.
Unbelievably, both my parents have been diagnosed and treated for blood cancer. So, in November I will run the NYC marathon not only for my personal athletic reasons, but also to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
This is why I am asking for your help.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is at the forefront of research and development in treating and curing blood cancers. Their progress has already helped extend my parents’ lives. New developments will benefit countless future patients as well.
Please join my cause and pledge your support for LLS and patients like Myra and Dave. I am required to raise a minimum of $3,500, but I am hoping to generate $26,200- a thousand dollars for every mile I will run. You can come back to my home page every so often to check on my progress.
On November 5th I will run 26.2 miles, trying not to cry, thinking about my parents with every step. Please join me on this journey.
Love you all,
Ellen Kurkowski
