Hi everyone! I hope everybody has had a incredible summer this year!

I haven't been able to run much this summer due to health issues with a joint disease. Although I've been feeling better the last couple weeks. Which is a perfect ending to my summer and beginning of fall. :smile:

Almost six months ago I did a weekend cancer run.

As a three year survivor myself, my soul tells me now is time for another.

On Sat, Oct 12th, I will be running a half marathon for all those that have succumbed to this terrible disease.

On the following day Sun, Oct 13th, I will honor those still in the fight with a never give up half marathon on that day as well.

Once again I will be carrying the names of people in my life and would be honored to carry the name(s) of the people and/or loved ones that have been diagnosed in your life along with me. I would love for them to share this run with me through one of the beautiful state parks in my area.

Please post/message me with any name(s) if that is something you would like also.

Much love...

Lanny

    Running 2 halfs in 2 days? You are a beast my friend but above all an incredible inspiration!
    Glad your health has improved enough to allow you to run and do this.
    I count our blessings every day that my Mother fought and won going on 9 years.
    Stay strong and healthy!

    Yes, I plan on posting pics on this thread for each day for those of you asking me via PM.

    I also can mail/email anybody who is interested in having a photo copy of the list of names I will be carrying with me each day. Just let me know.

    I'd love to 'run with you' Lanny and hopefully in a year or so I can actually run that half with you over here in Holland!
