This is my fabulous sister running her first Marathon to fight cancer. I support her 100% and wish that I could run along side her for this great cause. Alas she lives miles away and I am no runner. So, I am doing what I can. I am sharing with you her request for support.
Mali has offered to wear the names of your loved ones on a ribbon pinned to her jersey for anyone that donates any amount.

Please help squash cancer with us.
Here is her letter to all
Good Morning!
If you've ever written a letter asking someone for money,
I'm sure you know how difficult it can be to find a good opener. But sadly there is nothing easy about
cancer. This year will mark my second
year running for the Dana
Farber Team to raise money to end cancer. Last year with the help and support of
friends and family I raised $635 in
memory of loved ones I have lost as well as the loved ones who have thankfully survived.
In 2011 I ran for my grandfather and great aunt. This year I am running in Memory of my grandmother,
Mama Doris. A truly beautiful and
inspiring woman who when faced with her cancer handled it with the same amount
of grace and intelligence that she faced much of her life. This death has hit me very hard but has
driven me even harder to do all I can to make sure others don’t feel the pain
of being robbed.
With the Half Marathon 6 weeks away my training has been
stepped up a notch. I am putting the
miles on the road as well as building my endurance with a trainer however I
can’t reach the starting line alone. This
year I have vowed to raise $500 to help Dana Farber
continue their research and forward thinking treatment methods to end
cancer. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and 100%
of your contribution will go towards to Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
Sincerely,
Mali O
