Boston Marathon Magazine

I was reading the Boston Marathon magazine last night and there was a quote in an ad that totally makes me think of this season.

"If you think training for a marathon is hard, try fundraising for one in today's economy."

I understand the financial situation that everyone faces right now. I realize that I, like over 90% of my graduating law school class, will be unemployed come graduation in May. All this is true but what is even more true --- cancer is still out there attacking families and loved ones. I just learned of a dear friend who has a family member recently affected as of this past weekend.

I am asking - begging - pleading -- all of you to realize that cancer is not going away. The financial crisis will...just not today. I am training for this marathon as much as I can, but it is at the point where the hay is in the barn. I cannot train anymore because tomorrow is the day. But you can help me fundraise. Make a mini sacrifice this week - whether you have one more beer at home so that you don't have to buy one at the bar or you make coffee this week and bring it with you to work or school rather than buying $3 lattes at Starbucks or you make dinner at home with a friend or a loved one rather than heading out to a nice restaurant...think of what you would have spent on that beer or that coffee or that dinner and donate it to help find a cure for cancer.

Thank you all.
