Ok Folks,
Its that time of year again, and I hoping to once again have the great support from some here.

Many of you know about the struggle my mom went thru with this awful disease. She was diagnosed with colon cancer, had it surgically removed and was cancer free for 3 years. It reared its ugly head and came back. 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 year and a half 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 would have been married to for 50 years this past January.

When I did this walk the first 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.........Last year I got a call of encouragement from Dave Denn telling me to push forward. I'm continuing the promise that I made to myself to raise as much money possible to help with the research for a cure.

........So here I am once again, 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 raise more money than last year......and I will forever be in debt to you for your help
