On Monday, April 17th I will run the Boston Marathon to benefit the Vernon Cancer Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital.  I was fortunate to be 1 of 10 individuals who won a lottery through NWH which was my ticket to run Boston!  I am not obligated to raise funds with winning the lottery bib however I decided that it would by my honor to help raise money for the VCC!.  I know the team that works there, and so many of the patients past and present.  My goal is to raise  money to help them continue to provide their amazing services.  I hope you will consider supporting me.

I have experienced personal loss from cancer, losing someone very dear to me.  I also worked Oncology for 6 years, 3 of which were at the VCC.  I met so many people who bravely fought cancer.  I worked closely with them to coordinate their care and witnessed their strength through the most challenging of times.  I am running in honor of those who I've known who have beat cancer, and for those who have lost the battle.  I am also running for a very special survivor, Beth Gardner, who has battled cancer not once, not twice, but 3x!  For her, for them, their family members, and for my loved ones, I hope to help support this much needed cause.
