I ran the Boston Marathon! This is me at the finish. It was a tough race, with bright, hot sunshine, and lots of brutal hills (Heartbreak may be the most famous, but it's not the most heartbreaking...), but I made it, one step at a time, slowly but surely, running, walking, and limping (a little) for six hours, sixteen minutes and forty-four seconds. I am so happy to have run this race and raised so much for cancer research in honor of my dear brother David. Please join me in honoring him and bringing us closer to a world in which no one has to suffer as he did by making a donation. Thank you for all the support!
On April 17, 2017, I will run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the Boston Marathon. My goal is to raise $26,218.75--that’s $1000 per mile, $625 per kilometer, $124.74 per furlong, $3.13 per rod, and about $1 per step. It’s a long race and a lot of money, but I know together we can do it, one step and one dollar at a time. Thank you for any donation you can make.
Here is the link to a darling video my sister Annie made with photos of David (and the rest of us) when he was young. Please donate to honor his memory. Thank you!

This is my brother David. He died in 2015 from AML, a type of leukemia, at the age of 27. He was full of life--intelligent, caring, thoughtful, and funny. His absence left a gaping hole in my life that can never be filled.
