The first official fundraising endurance event of www.RunningOnLove.org, dedicated to its mission to Give Love…Touch Lives, will be The Philadelphia Half-Marathon on November 22nd, 2009. Our mission is to raise funds for brave 16-year-old Taylor Buonadonna, to help her defeat Osteosarcoma—a rare form of bone cancer that she was diagnosed with, at the age of 13.

Taylor is one of 6 children. Her parents, West and Maria, are waging a valiant fight to conquer this disease, with the hope and prayer of helping Taylor live a long, healthy and happy life. Taylor has undergone treatment in Texas accompanied by West who was there caring for her. She will be continuing chemotherapy at CHOP, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, at least until August. Her scans will determine where her treatment goes from there.

Please join us in supporting Taylor and her family by making a generous donation. It is our hope that with your generous support, we can ease the financial burden on the Buonadonnas in this time of great need, as they tirelessly work for a cure.
