Authentically Mine

Stop for moment. I know you are busy. I know you are excited about it being Friday and about Spring coming, but just stop for one moment and think if you know someone who has been affected by cancer.

I bet you do, and if you don't then you can think about me. I had cancer when I was 3 and had my left kidney removed. I am now a happy healthy 36 year old because of the wonderful treatment I received at Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

I wish I could run a marathon but that is not going to happen. My friend and co-worker Katie who is about one of the coolest people you will ever meet is more in shape than anyone I know and she is running the Boston Marathon on Team Dana Farber this April.

If you can skip coffee for a week - think about donating $5.00

If you can bring your lunch for one week instead of buying - think about donating $20

If you can skip buying that new sweater/etsy item/cool piece of jewlery/books you want - consider donating $50

If you know someone who has been touched by cancer or even if you don't, please think about helping Katie out on her run and donating. Every single dollar helps and no amount is too little.

Stop for a moment and think...what if you needed someone running for you?
