What does fundraising for lung cancer research mean to you? Who do you run for?

It is an honor to fundraise for a cancer that is significantly underfunded. I’m running in honor of the lives and families impacted by lung cancer. I’m running in honor of the people that dedicate their lives to this cause.

Fill in the blanks!

I run because it makes me feel strong.

My mantra on tough runs is you are stronger than you think.

The first thing I’ll do after crossing the finish line is hug my family and friends.

I normally run without music…very polarizing! But it helps me focus on my breathing and form.
