Hey everyone - if you're still out there - wondering where I've been? What's been going on? Do I have hair yet? Why I haven't been writing? Well, for the most part, no news has been good news. I've just been busy, and truthfully, sometimes I just don't want to write about having cancer or anything even remotely related.
I actually have written a couple new blog posts, but on a new site. I've signed up for a new adventure, the Million Dollar Marathon, and I have a blog on that website. Go to http://coasttocoastforcancer.org/cyndi/ if you're interested.
Just to give you some information first, the Million Dollar Marathon is a 40 day, 4000 mile event that will take place this summer. 160 cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocates will run a relay of marathons from the Pacific Coast in Ocean Shores, Washington, to the Atlantic Coast in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, starting on June 21st. I'm not sure where I'll run yet, so that means I'm not really sure when I'll run. Along the way, we'll have big celebrations and cancer advocacy events in Ocean Shores, Denver, Des Moines, Washington DC, and Rehoboth Beach.
Winter is ever so slowly relaxing its grip on Minnesota, and my training is off to a good start. So is my fundraising. If you want to know more about that fundraising thing, go to http://www.crowdrise.com/RunCyndiRun. I've pledged to raise $7500 to benefit Above & Beyond Cancer, a great charity whose aim is to elevate the lives of those touched by cancer. In 2013, the organization is focused on reducing new cancer cases and cancer recurrence through programs that emphasis diet and vigorous physical exercise. The Million Dollar Marathon is also working to raise funds for cancer research and programs that support cancer survivors and their families.
I'd love it if you would support me in any way you can. Donations are key, but if you can't donate, how about spreading the word? Know a business what might like to support me? Want to help me with my training? And there's always...donations! :)
