A cause and event very near and dear to my heart is finding a cure for the disease that took away my step-brother-- Prostate Cancer.
He had an extremely rare and aggressive variety, but that only exposed for me how little we actually know about combatting Cancer in general.
I have literally said, "I would not wish what I witnessed my brother go through onto my worst enemy!"
We must discover a better solution, but it will take lots of money, specialists, doctors, and scientists-- so what can you do?
I ask myself that often, and as many of you know I have found that "fun-runs," or raising money by running, is one way I can help.
So, I invite you all to my third and final fundraiser of the year (my fourth in eleven months):

I am setting the fundraising goal bar low so as to avoid donor fatigue. However, I would love if you could help me demolish this target, so we can raise another $2050 like we did for LLS, or $750 for Gilda's Club! I couldn't have done that without you all, and if you didn't get a chance to donate to those worthy causes-- now is the time to act.
What makes this event extra special is that it is being organized by my step-brother's mother, who joined the Board of ZERO, and has created this 10K in honor of my brother's memory-- I am honored to participate, and thank you in advance for your donations.
