Dear friends,
On my fundraising page you will see a picture of my father and me, and it got me thinking...I graduated high school in June of 1994 and four months later on September 4th, my father lost his battle with cancer. This is the last picture I ever got to take with my Dad. Both of us were way too young in this photo for me to say that.
People think it's crazy to sign up, train for and compete in an Ironman. People think it's crazy to commit to fundraising almost $10,000. I think it's crazy that there is a disease out there taking fathers from sons, mothers from daughters, children from parents, loved ones from loved ones… and I'm not doing more about it. Well that's about to change...
I have a mission – to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in the Ironman U.S. Championships on August 11th, 2012 in NYC as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.
In memory of my father and all loved ones lost, and in honor of those battling cancer everywhere, please join me in my race to find a cure. No donation is too small.
Best,
Kevin
