As some of you may know I had signed up to do the Livestrong Challange in Philly in 2008, and a month before the event I was hit by a car while on a training ride on my bicycle. A fellow NESBA member and friend of mine, Drew Harbuck, stepped up and did the ride for me. Throught unparalleled generosity of many NESBA members I was able to raise over $3000 in support of the fight against cancer.
Fast forward to today. A very close friend of mine had signed up to do the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk in D.C. next month. He and another friend have raised over $6800 to help in the fight against breast cancer, which is a cause near and dear to my heart. My wife Susie, who I know many of you have seen at the track, it now a 6 year breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with Stage III breast Cancer in Oct 2004. She went through a masectomy, chemo, radiation and three reconstruction surgeries.
To make a long story short, my friend herniated 2 disks in his lower back moving furniture about a month ago, and his doctor will not clear him to do the walk. So I'm going to take his place, and do the 3 day, 60 mile walk. I look at it as my chance to step up and help him, just as Drew stepped up and helped me.
I'm asking you, my fellow NESBA members and friends to help by making a donation. Below is a link to the team I'll be walking with, Kevin Cullen is my friend whom I'll be walking for. I offer my sincerest thanks in advance to anyone who donates to this great cause.
