I’m in Training…
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here and here’s why. I started another company, Get Off The Couch Potato Sports Productions, LLC. Couch Potato produces sports events that will always have a charitable component attached to each event. Our first event was produced last year, the Central Coast Cancer Challenge. We raised $12,000 for two local cancer charities and we hope to raise more in 2011.
Cancer has touched my life profoundly in the last two years. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 (she is doing well) and recently, I lost a friend to lung cancer. I also know many more people who have lost loved ones to the disease. I have a personal reason to continue to help those who are battling this disease.
I have decided to walk a half marathon with Team In Training. I completed the Honolulu Marathon in 2006 with the help of TNT and I am happy to report that my honored teammate, Ellie Nunley, a 3-year old at the time battling Leukemia, is now a happy, healthy 7-year old.
I hope those that see this page will contribute to my cause. You gift is 100% tax deductible (tax ID 13-5644916). No donation is too small! Every penny is a step to finding a cure. People tell me fundraising is hard. No, what’s hard is watching your loved one have to endure chemotherapy, losing their hair, having surgery and not feeling well. I am dedicated to raising funds for cancer research and support until there is a cure!
Please join me in this journey. Help me help others. I firmly believe that it will take a community to kill this disease. We can all do it together. Thank you and God Bless.
