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. After undergoing surgery this summer, she is in the middle of undergoing chemotherapy. It is a difficult process, but her prognosis is good.

I've decided to restart this blog as I shift my efforts as I prepare to participate in the 2011 Relay for Life at SVSU to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
This event will take place from 6:00pm April 8th-6:00am April 9th, 2011. My plan is to run the who thing.

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.
