I trained for six months and 800+ miles to run the 2012 NYC Marathon to raise funds for cancer research in honor of my father, who passed away far too young after a battle with cancer.  He taught me everything I know about charity, community, volunteerism, and giving back.

I am grateful to all those that have supported my marathon run for cancer research. I am inspired and ready to run 26.2 miles for all of you and in my dad's honor.  

As everyone knows by now, the NYC Marathon was cancelled. However, I feel that I have an obligagtion to my amazing supporters to run a marathon this Fall. Hurricane Sandy may handed me lemons by taking away the NYC Marathon, but why not make lemonade out of the situation? 

I am VERY happy to be running the 2012 Philadelphia Marathon on November 18th for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer. Please consider donating to support my run and help in the fight against childhood cancer!
