My Story…

I’ll be running for a lot of reasons. First of all, I’m blessed to be able to run. And while I said I would never run a marathon, it’s time to flip the script and challenge myself like never before. Life is precious, and sometimes short. I’m running for those that have passed and the people around me that work through challenges every day which may prevent them from running. Mostly, I am running to elevate awareness around cancer. ♋️ Cancer has taken away many friends and family members and, given my wife’s (Dorotka) struggles with cancer, hits close to home. My goal is to finish. No time predications or goals, just finish the race. Join me in helping to raise cancer awareness- raising funds for Lymphoma Canada - 🇨🇦 thank you for your support! ✅🙏🏻🏃🏻‍♂️

Who are Lymphoma Canada? - Dealing with lymphoma can be overwhelming, whether you’re a patient yourself or you know someone who is. But you don’t have to face it alone. We connect patients, their family and friends, medical professionals, researchers, volunteers, and donors to build a strong lymphoma community. A community that conducts research to learn lymphoma’s causes, to develop better treatments, and to find a cure. A community that helps people talk about and cope with the fifth most common cancer in Canada. A community that invites you to get and give support.


Description

Lymphoma is the fifth most common cancer affecting Canadians and has the fastest rising incidence rate among young adults. Currently over 100,000 Canadians are living with lymphoma and there is no known cause or prevention, only hope for a cure. Lymphoma Canada provides, at no cost and in both official languages:  electronic and print materials on Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and CLL, peer and caregiver support groups, educational forums and advocacy on behalf of patients. Lymphoma Canada also funds Canadian research.


All funds raised will enable Lymphoma Canada to further its mission of supporting Canadians living with lymphoma.
