It's been three years since I heard the words "you have cancer."  One of the worst days of my life. 

Today, I'm feeling great and training for my first half-marathon. 

I am asking for people to help me help others by donating to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund which provides funds for Ovarian Cancer research.  Ovarian Cancer is known as the silent killer because of its vague symptoms.  These symptoms don't allow for most cases of Ovarian Cancer to be caught in the earlier stages.  Catching Ovarian Cancer in the earlier stages allows the the chance of survival to increase from approximately 40% to >85% after 5 years.

Can you help me out?  I'm asking for people to donate $1/mile that I run in the half-marathon (13.1 miles) on September 23rd.

Thank you for your support!

Help me raise funds Please!

Well, I have decided to run in a half-marathon in September of this year (2012).  My inspiration is a fellow Ovarian Cancer survivor, Jenn Sommermann.  She has dedicated 5 years of her life to raising $100,000 by running/participating in 50 triathlons (one is each state).  I have found a way to help her out.  I am asking people to donate $1/mile that I run in the half-marathon.  The link below will go directly to her cause (check out www.jennsommermann.blogspot.com for more info).

Its almost 3 years since we received the bad news

Well, its been almost 3 years since we received the awful news that I had cancer. My follow up appointment is in mid-April 2012 and I am feeling great!!! Kyle and I are enjoying Knoxville and settled in completely now. We hope to go on our first scuba diving trip sometime late spring/early summer. I'm so excited to finally get to go diving again. When I received the news of my blood clot in my leg (prior to the news of my cancer) we had to cancel our scheduled dive trip. I'm sooo ready to go!! Happy Spring 2012 Everyone!
