Dana Faber - Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk
Permalink Closed

Ok Folks,

Last year I posted this up, and I had great support from some here. Yes its been a year already and I'm asking for your support and help again.

Many of you know about the struggle my mom was going thru with this awful disease. She was diagnosed 5 years ago with colon cancer, had it surgically removed and was cancer free for 3 years. It reared its ugly head and came back. This time it attached itself to the lining of her stomach and small intestines. The day the doctors informed us it was inoperable was the hardest thing I've ever had to accept.

She fought the good fight with a year and a half of Chemo and Radiation. She's been gone for a little over 3 months now, not a day goes by that I dont miss her. Not a day goes by that I don't feel sad for my father who lost his best friend who he was married to for 49 years.

When I did this walk last year, the first and only person I wanted to call from the finish line was her. In broken tears she told me how proud she was to have me for a son.........

I made a promiss to myself that I would do whatever I could to raise as much money possible to help with the research for a cure

........So here I am, in front of you all, begging for your help. I am a proud person, but I am not too proud where I can't ask all of you to open up your wallets for whatever you can give....be it big or small, I don't care. Do it for my mom, Do it for someone you lost, Do it for someone you don't even know. I can promiss you that I will complete the full 26.2 miles, I will beat last years time......and I will forever be in debt to you for your help

Below is a link to my Jimmy Fund home page. Either a donation for me, or for the team "Houlie's Hereos" would be appreciated

Thank you

Ron Grammatic Jr
