I completed my first marathon last November and was immediately overcome with how blessed I was to have the physical ability to do it (I may have shed a tear or two). I am currently working as a Pediatric Oncology Dietititan and see how devestating cancer can be for my patients and there families. I am partnering with the National Foundation for Cancer Research and will run the Marine Corps Marathon in hopes that one day we can live in a world where cancner is less devestating. Thank you for visiting my donation page!
