Join Mike in the fight against childhood cancer! Recently I ran my first half marathon, which is something I never thought I could accomplish. By the fifth mile I was hooked, I had already decided I wanted to do more. I thought to myself, something should be different for the sequel. The first time was for me, but this time I want to run for a cause. In early January 2014 I will be joining Team Lemon representing Alex's Lemonade Stand (a foundation formed to fight childhood cancer) and running both a 10K and a half marathon in one weekend. The challenge/goal will be to successfully complete both races, and raise $2000 for my cause. I'm asking friends and family for their support, both morally and by any donation they can provide. There is no greater tragedy than a child fighting for life before they even have an idea of what life is, and that is what I will be running and fighting for. I try to surround myself with people that constantly challenge, and inspire me. I would one day like to be that inspiration to others. The message is simple, #chaseyourgreatness and #neverstopbecoming Tomorrow may come easy for you, but that’s just not the case for everyone.
Here is a little bit of info on Alex's Lemonade Stand:
