| Running for Kris |
|
|
| Hi my name is Susanne Cello Harkness and I am running the New York Marathon to honor my big brother Kris. Kris was in an accident where he sustained a major head injury last July. In November during one of his rehab sessions I decided that I needed to do something to physically challenge myself and work toward as a goal that would equal some of what he would encounter during his rehab over the months after his accident and the challenges he would have to face every day when he woke up. Sadly, Kris didn't respond to the treatment and after 10 months of being in a vegetative state he passed away on May 15th, 2007. I have chosen to run the 2007 ING NYC Marathon for the TGL Foundation, one of the New York Road Runners participating charities that guaranteed me an entry into the race. Please assist my charitable efforts by donating to this organization. I invite you to learn more about the Labrecque Foundation by visiting their website at www.tglclassic.com. |

| The Thomas G. Labrecque Foundation is committed to preventing lung cancer through education and research, in order to break the stigmas associated with the disease. With greater understanding will come increased funding. Medical research has enabled women to survive breast cancer and men to survive prostate cancer. The same can be done for lung cancer patients, but only with increased funding for research. Funds raised by the TGL Foundation will be distributed to the nation’s top cancer research centers through the input of a medical advisory board that includes clinicians from the Country’s leading thoracic oncology institutions. |
