On Saturday, I’m participating in the Revlon Run/Walk for Women. Every year about 60,000 people, 80% being women, show up in Times Square/Central Park to participate in this event, a celebration of hope and progress in the fight against women’s cancers. It also serves as a vehicle to raise much needed funds that support scientists in medical studies, help provide diagnostic treatment services for medically underserved women, and deliver phsychological and financial support of women with cancer and their families. This all hits home with me because cancer has not been very nice to several of my close female family members.
If you would like to sponsor me, you can make a donation on my personalized Revlon Run/Walk sponsorship page. Thank you.

Sure. It’s totally worth it.
Andy will be there until Tuesday - so it’s not like you couldn’t pick another night too if that one doesn’t work out.
He’s going to have a blast! I’m super jealous!

No, you don’t know me from a hole in the wall, and how I got here is a long and random story (not that this is a bad thing….) Wish I could contribute, but more importantly I wanted to thank you for participating. I’m running on Saturday, too, for the fifth year. This Monday I celebrated six years cancer-free. This is the one time each year that my parents, sisters, brothers-in-law, and boyfriend (who is also an AJ!) all get together from our corners of the globe. Some run, some walk, my mother likes to say she “toddles” but we’re all out there. See you Saturday, Rachelle! Thanks for being there with me.
