Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!

 On June 1, 2006 my sister Kari was diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer. Since then, she has endured 8 rounds of chemotherapy, a small bowel resection, and radioembolization treatments to fight the tumors that remain in her liver. At this time, she is not cancer-free but continues to fight her battle with great optimism and hope.

To kick-off the training and fundraising efforts, Josh has decided to take part in the 3^rd Annual Hawthorn Half-Day Relay in Terre Haute, Indiana on June 14, 2008. This is a unique event that involves a 6 member team taking turns running a 5k course over a 12-hour period. The goal is to run as many miles as possible in that time frame. To see more about this event just go to www.hawthornhalfdayrelay.com

 Me and my long time friend Clint are dedicated to raising money in her honor that will help find a cure for Carcinoid Cancer, a goal that is within reach. This October, I will be running my 7th marathon (it will be my 6th Chicago marathon). My friend Clint will be running his 3rd marathon (all Chicago Marathons). This year we’ll be running together in her honor, raising donations along the way.

 Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. 100% of the donation goes directly to research, and is tax deductible as the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

 To read the story of Kari’s journey since June 2006, you can do so by visiting her blog site that she updates on a weekly basis. Just go to:
