I?m the kind of girl who likes to think big and have fun doing so in the process with that said I am on a mission to kick cancers ASS!! I have been fundraising and training with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society?s Team in Training for four seasons now. I have completed two half marathons (Oakland Half in 2009 & ING?s Miami Half) I have also done over six 5ks and even trained for two triathlons. This is no joke!! I just joined the Mom?s in Training group this season to train for a 10k around Central Park. Fundraising and training go hand in hand for me? this isn?t just a hobby ? this is my life!
It?s what I do! I love running and meeting new people. I do it in honor of my grandfather Ygnacio who has suffered from Lymphoma for over ten years. He is my hero ? and he turns 93 in October! He is my inspiration for ending cancer! I too have had my cancer scare and have actually been an honoree for TNT. I recently had benign tumors along with my thyroid removed back in March. I also have a small brain tumor on my pituitary gland. Needless to say, cancer runs in my family so I constantly get checked out! I am a lucky girl. My tumors aren?t cancerous, but my Grandpa?s are and he gets treated lightly and then recovers. He is a champ!
In honor of my grandpa and in memory of those who have battled cancer, I want you to join me for a night you will remember in NYC that will inspire you to do great things! The End Cancer Concert at Spin NYC!
