I'm still a little overwhelmed by what happened last weekend. I knew I needed to take a few days to let it settle before writing a summary, final fundraising tally, and a huge thank you to everyone. I started at the corner of Jackson and University near Regions Hospital in St Paul at 10:00 am. …
I am so excited to share that we've crossed the $2000 mark! My original goal was $1000! I can't thank enough those who gave. You have given me even more motivation to hit the trail this coming Saturday and run the 21 miles from downtown St. Paul to downtown Stillwater. Really, its true. Your donations …
Together we have surpassed the goal of $1000 just last week. Wow! I am so thankful to all that have given to make this possible. I think we can get to $1500 over the next few weeks before my run on January 13th. Let's see how high we can go! Your giving really does motivate …
Over the past 18 months since diagnosis, Kathryn and I have learned many things we never knew. One critical lesson was in how lung cancer is perceived. Some view it as only a smoker's disease or even that people with lung cancer somehow deserve it. (No one deserves it by the way, smoker or not). …
So far I have raised $465 toward my goal of $1000. I am so thankful to all that have donated and to those that will in the coming days and weeks. I just wanted to say thank you! January 13th is about a month away and I am getting pumped to hit the trail and …
I finally had the chance to test out my new winter gear. With some snow and ice on the trail and temps in the teens, I ventured out for a run. Almost everything worked really well. My hands got a little hot and I ran much of the 6 miles with bare hands. The jacket …
I think it's a pretty unique thing that ALK Positive and Lungevity are doing. ALK Positive is a group of survivors and caregivers that started out as a Facebook support group that is now growing to drive innovation in ALK lung cancer treatment. To do this, they are partnering with Lungevity to establish patient-driven funding …
Since I decided to run 20 miles in the middle of January to raise money for ALK Positive lung cancer research, I figured I better get some better gear. I don't run often outside in the winter unless it is sunny, above 0 degrees, and calm. On January 13th, I am planning for -15, blowing …
Here's the plan: run when its so cold your eyelids freeze, ask for small dollar donations, then share, share, share!
