It’s time to run cancer out of Connecticut.

To say the past three years have been a bit trying , that would be an understatement. This year has had its ups and downs but without a doubt it is still better than the two previous years. My running has been very hit and miss but none the less I am still able to get out there and put in some miles.

I run on behalf for all those that have heard those nasty words of “You have cancer”. I get out there to raise awareness and try to raise as many funds as I possibly could to help those that are in need during their difficult times. Below you can see some pictures from Seymour Pinks (a non-profit fighting against breast cancer) Gala, what an unbelievable event.

For those of you who don’t know, I had come down with a very rare form of Hypoxia. If you don’t know what Hypoxia is, it is a lack of oxygen. The type that I had, I was told that there is no cure or treatment for it. My blood oxygen level was good, therefor they couldn’t just put me on oxygen. What was happening was, my body was not absorbing the oxygen after I had taken it into my lungs. Which means, my cells, tissues, muscles and more importantly my organs were not receiving the amount of oxygen that they should have been getting to function properly. By some sort of miracle that had passed, after 14 months, but none the less I am trying to get back to normal. I have dropped about half of the weight that I had put on during that timeframe and I am continuing to try and drop the rest. I had worked the third shift for four months, and luckily I did, as this allowed to me time to help take care of some family that needed some extra attention during some rehab that they had been going through. But the hardest part was during these past two years we have lost some loved ones, both family and friends of the family.

With all that being said I am looking ahead to 2026, yes this year is almost over already, and it looks like 2026 is going to be a busy year. There are big plans in the works. I can guarantee you that there will be plenty of miles, events and possibly some different fundraisers with some new charities that we will be donating too, not to mention our men and women in uniform. Stay tuned for more information on that.

At a minimum, I will be updating the site on a monthly basis. One of my goals for 2026 is to keep everyone updated on the progress of how everything is going.  There will be more pictures and presentations to show how your support is making a difference in so many lives.

Stay tuned for more updates….
