On May 3rd, 2025, I will run the Potomac river run Half Marathon, dedicating every mile to supporting cancer patients and their families.
Join me as I Move For Hope in support of Cancer Hope Network. This cause is deeply personal and important to me as I’ve lost loved ones to cancer over the years; my grandpa Lafayette unexpectedly in March of 2019 and my grandma Hasna unexpectedly in October of 2023. It has left a lasting impact on my heart. I know that cancer deeply affects the lives of so many in this world and I want to honor not only my loved ones, but everyone affected by cancer.
For 40 years, Cancer Hope has been connecting cancer patients and caregivers with trained survivor mentors who provide support and guidance. Support Volunteers serve as mentors for patients going through treatment, provide practical suggestions to caregivers and create hope.
The hope they create makes a difference. More than 90% of matched clients report that their match has created hope for themselves and their families. And, anecdotal reports tell us match visits encourage patients to continue with their treatments.
Please join me by donating to this fundraiser, it would mean so much. Thank you for standing with me and making a difference!
