Training for and running my first marathon was a incredible journey, one I will cherish for a very long time. During the marathon, I ran up behind another woman on the LIVEstrong team, whose shirt said "5 year Breast Cancer Survivor" on the back. We exchanged a few encouraging words and parted ways. But her image stuck with me. She gave me a lot of hope for all those people out there fighting this terrible disease and she really made me realize the strength of the Lance Armstrong Foundation--how it truly inspires those with cancer to LIVE strong. I will continue to support this organization in whatever way I can and have encouraged all those who supported me this time to think of LAF in the future.

At around mile 23 I was really hurting and one of my team members tapped me on the shoulder and said let's go, I really needed that boost. What a great day and amazing feeling crossing that finish line knowing all that Team Livestrong accomplished. Way to go Team Livestrong can't wait to run another one for this great organization.
