I wanted to introduce myself and give a little background to how I found Tell Every Amazing Lady®. I am an avid runner and triathlete, I have been in the running community for years, as I am now 57. I have in the past found it meaningful to run for a cause bigger than myself and have raised awareness and funds for a lot of different organizations over the years. I ran to the White House for childhood cancer awareness, I have run the Marine Corps Marathon for Hope for the warriors, and I was a team leader for our local CF organization.
Recently my close friend was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. I have watched as she has undergone two surgeries, and two rounds of chemo. The last round finished recently. I was scheduled to do the Long Island 1/2 Ironman this past September and needed some motivation to complete it. I asked my girlfriend if I could run for her and raise some money towards her medical bills, she refused but mentioned Tell Every Amazing Lady®. She told me to run for a charity that has been there for her. I immediately signed up and raised $100.00 and learned more about the work Tell Every Amazing Lady® is doing. I work as a NP in an acute care hospital, and since I am now more aware of this organization, I have felt more compelled to share Tell Every Amazing Lady resources and partner with them. I am looking forward to raising funds for this charity as I train and run the 2024 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon proudly wearing a Tell Every Amazing Lady® uniform!
