RUNNINGFORCURE

Okay.   I started running from scratch in March 2008, about 8 month after I was diagnostic with Head & Neck cancerT-4  disease.  Since that time, I have run given and taken  20 marathons and, with much help from friends, raised something like $18,000.00 for Cancer Organizations and Hospitals. My next Marathon on July 2013 and it will be in Canada. Runningforcure  always try to participate in  these Marathons because I am cancer survivor back2back and because it became part of me to do something about and help the best way I know  how to help.. Over the 3+ years I've been running, I've often been asked whether I would ever participate in a Triathlon,  I've never really felt the urge before. I think would be AWESOME even if I wouldn't finished would create awareness.  Running has become such an important tool to help me cope with life's challenges and the up & downs!  Even with a broken heart, I feel very alive doing it. I guess I always figured that someday the urge would probably strike, even before I was diagnostic with cancer for the first time and told by 2 doctors from 2 hospitals that if they wouldn't operate and remove it from me ASAP, I would die in less the 2 month  ( I guess is 222 and not 666.... Ok bad analogy). Anyway, when you believe in God and in his precious gifts to us, good things really happen and with your courage and strength... the mountain comes to you! So.  Long story short, I'm going for it and sign up for a Triathlon.  And while is challenge for me at 50 years old.  I feel good and I am not  afraid as I was when I first run my first  Marathon.  I don't want a perfect person, I just want someone to act silly with me, someone who treats me well and loves being with me more than anything, despite my imperfections or my mistakes or for being an ordinarily guy.  If you truly love someone it gives you courage, and if she/he truly loves you it gives you strength.   I ask for nothing, just to support your runner or donate to a cancer organization  or hospitals of your choice and/or the best support is prayers from the heart! SEE YOU IN THE FINISH LINE!
