It’s time to run cancer out of Connecticut.

When I finally received my medical diagnosis in July of 2024 I had already been dealing with the unknown for over 300 days. When I heard the Dr tell me that I had a rare form of Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) I was taken back. Oxygen is a pretty important item for the body, so I was like “Ok how do we fix it?" To hear the words, “There is no cure” after being told you lack oxygen was not the words I was expecting. “Ok how do we treat it”? "There is no treatment”. I was blown away at this point. I go from running 13 miles a day to not being able to walk up a flight of stairs, and they tell me there is nothing they can do. Some how, some way on November 5th I woke up from the worst night of sleep and felt so energized that I didn’t know what to think. Was I dreaming? Did I pass on and and everything was now better? I was scared before but this brought me to an entirely new level. Since that day I can honestly say that I have been feeling great. With that being said I started running yet again. On April 13th I competed in my first event in 518 days, the Ion Bank Cheshire Half Marathon, yes I jumped right into a half marathon. I could not be happier with the way the day had gone, over a minute and half faster per mile than what I planned on doing.

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. All funds that I raise get donated to Seymour Pink, a non-profit organization that helps families that have heard the words of “You have breast cancer”. Below you can see some pictures from this years Seymour Pinks Gala, what an unbelievable event.

Stay tuned for more updates….
