I am dedicating this fundraiser to my late Grandmother, aptly known as "The Dragon Lady," who passed away from gall bladder cancer July 2018. And to my family and friends that have fought and beat other forms of cancer (there are many)!

When Grandma was diagnosed with cancer, she was given up to 6 months. But The Dragon Lady is fierce and stubborn, and she lived on for a year and 3 months after her diagnosis! Every day at 5pm she poored herself a glass of vodka on the rocks. She was a successful model. She traveled the world by herself. She loved boating, dogs, camping, and playing cards. She was an incredible artist, she played the piano and loved to sing. She could swear like a sailor. And she always made me eat my green beans when I was a kid...

While we raise as much money as we possibly can to find a cure, I'm going to hone my speed skills for this race, so we can win this together! If I win, I will make an additional donation of $50! Thank you for supporting me in this fight against cancer!
