My mission is to walk 26.2 miles for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Why did I decide to do my first endurance race? Because I love excercising? Because I love walking? Because I'm just addicted to pain? No, I am going to do it for my brother Miguel and other family members who are fighting or have fought and lost the battle with cancer. My job is to raise $3,800 and walk the Mayor's Midnight Sun Marathon in Anchorage, Alaska. I believe I can make it, for my brother will be watching and taking care of me. Will you help me make this happen? How I wish you would.
Thank You!
