From 2007 to 2009, I worked with runners from around the country to raise over $12,000 for the Lupus Foundation of America. Then I took a break. In 2010, my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer so I restarted this blog to raise money for the American Cancer Society at a 2011 Relay for Life event. Right now I'm just running. No particular goal or training plan, just putting in the miles when I can and putting in the occasional blog post when I can.

Going offline...

Ah, with 48 hours until departure, I've now learned that blogger, the service hosting all my blogs, is being blocked by that wonderful organization, the government of the People's Republic of China. Stay tuned as I set up an alternate hosting site to use during my trip.
