I don't think that anyone can say that breast cancer hasn't touched their lives. We wanted to do our part and show solidarity with loved ones and friends who are fighting for their lives. Donna Hicken said it best, "Facing cancer is a lot like running a marathon - a long arduous race that challenges the body, mind, and spirit."
Well I have my plane ticket, Hotel, and now I know how I am getting to the start area.. It looks like they know what they are doing for the 1st one.. My training has not been what I want .. I hate to run in the winter.. Cold running sucks.. Well just a few weeks to go..

Hi everyone - It's been a while! Well, myself and two of my teammates, Jill and Kyrsten went to Jacksonville, FL for the Inaugural 26.2 with Donna The National Marathon to Fight Breast Cancer! We didn't actually do the 26.2- We did 13.1- the half-marathon.
Approximately 100 runners donated $1,325., on Saturday morning, to participate in the "Left Behind" half marathon. A special "thank you" to all the runners, the volunteers, the MarathonFest training program, Susan Paul and the Track Shack Foundation.
The Donna Hicken Foundation raises money for First Coast women living with breast cancer.
The Mayo Clinic is designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The Galloway Training Program is the official training program for 26.2 with Donna. Learn more!
