Phil Brabbs - The Fighting Wolverine

Here is a fantastic article (click here) about Phil Brabbs a former Michigan Wolverine placekicker and a cousin of a good friend of mine. The reason this blog exists is because of Phil. He encouraged me earlier this year to spread my message using social media and to continue to raise funds and awareness.

Here is Phil's blog as well - Multiple Myeloma For Dummies.

Please help me root for Phil as he fights valiantly.

Go Blue!

Boston Here We Come

When I completed the NYC Marathon I took a very brief moment to reflect what was next...Ran Chicago, Miami, Detroit, NYC, Marine Corps...The premier event was left. But I was 28 minutes shy of qualifying for my age group. But those that know me know I don't take no for an answer very easily. I applied late (very late) to be a part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC) Team for Boston.

I didn't know what to expect. I've been very successful in raising money for my cause. But wasn't sure if the Dana-Farber team would want me this late in the game...BUT THEY DID!! And together we fight for to cross the ultimate finish line - a world without cancer.

So I have 4 months to train and to raise $5,000. The DFMC raises funds for the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber. Established by J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver in 1987, the Claudia Adams Barr Program fosters scientific breakthroughs by advancing the work of gifted researchers in a variety of basic research disciplines. The DFMC directs 100% of funds raised to the Barr Program, which enables scientists at the leading edge of discovery to achieve better cure rates and to enhance patients' quality of life.

I hope you will support my challenge by giving a gift to my run and, in doing so, help bring an end to the challenge of cancer.
