Hey everyone! After completing my first race ever, The Broad Street Run, I thought why not add three more miles and complete the Philadelphia Half Marathon. I am challenging myself, along with a few others, to raise $1,000 for Alex's Lemonade Stand in the process. If you've already donated, no worries, I hope you'll come out and cheer me on Sunday, November 20, 2011. If you haven't donated to my running efforts yet this year, I hope you'll consider helping me to raise funds toward finding a cure for all kids with cancer.

As always, I'm running in honor and memory of my momma dukes, Linda Ann Kocher. She was definitely pushing me to complete the Broad Street and I have no doubt she'll be my biggest fan when I run the Philadelphia Half Marathon.
