Thank you for visiting the Larrystrong fundraising page.  I'm Larry, and this year I will be running the New York City Marathon in order to raise money for the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. For those of you who don't know, the V Foundation started with the dream of Jim Valvano, the passionate and committed former NC State (and, before that, Johns Hopkins!!) basketball coach and award-winning broadcaster, as he battled cancer. Wanting to see the battle through to victory, Valvano recruited friends and family to lead The V Foundation in his quest to eradicate the disease that ultimately claimed his life. With a dire need for early developmental, critical-stage grant support, the Foundation was formed to assist the brilliant young researchers that will eventually find cures for cancer. 

Look, I know how tough times are right now. But that's why it's so important to give whatever you can--even if it's just 5 dollars. Too many of our friends and family have been terrorized by this dreadful disease--and it's time for it to stop! That's why the goal of Larrystrong is to raise $10,000 for the V Foundation.

So please, please, please, donate whatever you can. If the warm fuzzy feelings from doing something nice aren't enough, as a special added bonus, if you donate I'll give or send you a fancy limited addition Larrystrong bracelet, as seen in the picture above.

Thanks again!

Larry
