Hi all! I'm proud to be running the Philly Marathon with another great organization that raises money to combat childhood cancer.

As some of you know, I started fundraising in 2006 in memory of my cousin, who died from lymphoma at age 12 (I was 8). So in the wake of the NYC Marathon's cancellation, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to run Philly with Alex's Lemonade Stand.

Read Alex's story; it's very heartwarming. And donate if you can!
