________________________________________

Welcome to my personal fundraising page! Cancer is prevalent. We all know of someone who has fought cancer and lost the battle or is currently fighting cancer. The list of people I know personally keeps growing everyday, including my Grandpa who lost his battle several years ago. Lazarex is on the front lines of this fight and is why I have teamed up with them.

---------------------------------------------------------------

WHO IS THE LAZAREX CANCER FOUNDATION:

The mission of Lazarex is to provide resources for end stage cancer patients who’ve been told they have no other options, but are not yet done with their journey in life and refuse to give up. They provide financial assistance to defray costs associated with patient participation in FDA clinical trials. Additionally, they help patients navigate their clinical trial options and provide community education and outreach services. Lazerex Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and all donations are tax deductable (identification number is 20-2562494).

---------------------------------------------------------------

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

As long as we are still fighting this deadly disease I will continue to put in the miles and do my part to make a difference.

THE LAZAREX CANCER FOUNDATION CHALLENGE – SWIM, BIKE, RUN for a great cause.
