My battle against testicular cancer continues and I start chemotherapy on August 21st. The treatment is 3 cycles of chemotherapy (9 weeks). In the meantime, the doctor encouraged me to be proactive. So in response I give you this.
For the next nine weeks, I will run until my body tells me to quit. If I can't run I'll cycle. If I can't cycle I'll walk. If I can't walk I'll swim. And in return, for all the miles I accumulate in the those 63 days, I challenge you to donate; Dollar for mile or whatever you desire. At the end of each week, I'll post my milage (in case you want to sponsor an individual week).
Now here's the catch! Every dollar pledged or donated will be given to ULBC Casabuilders, which is a non-for-profit organization aiding in the housing outreach in Mexico. No matter the monetary outcome, it will finance a new home for the less fortunate or aid in the construction of the Mi Casa Childrens Home
Thank you for giving and being a part of my cancer recovery!
