26.2 for Hope...

I signed up to run the NYC Marathon (26.2 miles) on November 2, 2014 with the Ulman Cancer Fund - Team Fight as my partner.  The Ulman Cancer Fund (UCF) is committed to helping cancer survivors reclaim their bodies in the Cancer 2 5K program - through sports.  As a volunteer running coach for UCF, I can't think of a better cause for my 30 year bid in the NYC marathon. 

As I close in on the November 2 date, I could really use your help!  I'm committed to running 26.2 miles -- and I would be soooo grateful and honored if you would be a part of my team by making a donation.  Any amount you can donate is SO HELPFUL.  Know that your donation is both tax deductible and makes a REAL difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.  Your name, along with with the name of a cancer fighter that you would like to honor - I will proudly wear on my NYC bib.

Helping cancer survivors - change their identities to that of an athlete.  Thank you SO MUCH for your kind support.

The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, as they fight cancer and embrace survivorship. 

With your support, The Ulman Cancer Fund is able to provide multiple support services and resources for the young adult cancer community, including: 

• Cancer to 5K - A free, progressive, 12-week run/walk program designed to reintroduce cancer survivors to physical activity.

• Helping Others Fight - A volunteer program that provides basic services – such as transportation to and from treatment, yard work, home repairs, delivery of chemo care bags – to local cancer patients and their families so they can focus their energy on their battle with cancer and their well-being.

• Patient Navigation - A free program - onsite at cancer centers and remote - that ensures no young adult ever faces cancer alone.  We provide one-on-one personal support and resources to young adults and their families to help them manage the cancer experience and long-term cancer survival. 

• Scholarships - A financial assistance program to help young adults continue their education after being affected by cancer through their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.


Thank you for making these programs and our mission possible.
