Cancer Needs A Cure

It really does.
And this is why I am doing what I am doing.
I can't thank you enough. For the love and support and encouragement. For the positive energy and just for being there. It means the world. I have a long road ahead but I am ready for the challenge.
I feel like I need to document this journey so I can look back on it and I pray that when I do we are that much closer to finding a cure for cancer. It needs to happen. I have a lot of time to think on my runs. Every run I think of those who have battled this beast. Those who have beat it, those who are still battling and those who have lost their fight. It's heartbreaking thinking about the things that I do. I run faster. I cry. I push myself until I am done because I have seen the battle firsthand with my beautiful family. I will not ever give up on this fight. So many things keep me going but I change my screen saver on my phone often because whatever it is must give me inspiration, motivation and it has to keep me going.
At the moment my screen saver is this...

This beautiful soul lost her battle with cancer after fighting since 2003. Life is not fair. No one should have to go through life this way.
So I run.
I run for so many.
I'm running for my ladies.
These women are my strength, my life, my heart.
I only need to look at what we've lost to keep on keeping on.
The journey from 13.1 has been amazing so far and it's only been a month. I cannot wait to see what the next 5 months brings. I feel thankful and honored and blessed to be a part of getting closer to a cure and I have you to thank for getting me there.
Stay tuned...the road is long but it will be 100% worth it at the finish.
So much love.
