I know most of you are probably saying, "Oh no, it's HER again!"  To be honest, that's the reason why I am so late at posting this.  My newest step on the road to curing NF is the running of a marathon.  Seeing that my son Jonathan has an uphill battle ahead of him as a result of NF, I've decided the least I could do to experience his hardships would be to train for and complete the Boston Marathon.  It's already been quite the struggle for me, but I will cross that finish line whether I'm running, walking or crawling!  

I know that I have asked a lot of people over these past two years and I am extremely grateful for all of the support we have received.  Many of you attended Committed to Curing NF, participated in Steps 2 Cure NF, wrote letters to Congress, and donated to some of our other friends running the marathon as well.  I am not asking for you to sponsor me personally as much as I am hoping that some of you will be able to share this page with coworkers, friend and family who like to support worthy causes.   

Thank you again for being Committed to Curing NF!
