Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

 

to those of you who donated last year -- thank you so much.  i hope you are able to support me in the fight against melanoma again this year.

to those of you who did not get the chance last year -- welcome, and thanks in advance!

 

new for 2011 -- i am running the wilson bridge half-marathon october 2nd and then the army ten-miler the following week.

 

also -- i am now 40 years old.  which means i am now a masters' runner (seriously?).

 

on a more personal note, as many of you know, my inspiration for doing this is my friend adam ross, who should be joining me at age 40 on october 3rd but whom we lost to melanoma over 3 1/2 years ago.  he remains a big part of my life and an inspiration to me.

as for me, i am employing a schedule of regular dermatology appointments and efforts to keep myself pasty-white from head-to-toe (sorry for the visual) as i try to be a good patient after having had a melanoma removed a few years ago.

there have been some real advances in the treatment of melanoma over the last couple of years, and the melanoma research foundation supports much of that research.  thank you for helping make that research possible.

 

thanks, again.
