MY HONORED TEAMMATES
I'm running this marathon in honor of Jan Riggs, who was recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I run in memory of my uncle Ken Vinograd, who lost his battle with CMML on June 2, 2008 and in memory of Alex Stuetze, who lost her long battle with lymphoma in October 2006. You can read more about their stories by clicking here.
I also run in honor or memory of those listed below. Please tell me about your friends and family members who have been touched by cancer--I would be honored to make them a part of our team. |
