T- 2 Days Until "Run For The Rose"

With only 2 days remaining until our first trip to 'Run For The Rose', I feel like I've been running around like crazy getting things together- and I LOVE it! From finalizing t-shirt orders, to writing thank you notes (LOTS of Thank You notes), to scheduling our Race Day packet deliveries, I've been extremely busy and extremely thankful- thankful for such amazing people supporting us! Last night I shared with Dad the list of people who are running with us on Sunday, those of you who have donated money, and those of you who have purchased a 'Team Lar' t-shirt- the smile on his face when he saw the lists made all of my crazy running around completely worth it! 

As of this morning, we've raised $8,225! That number is truly unbelievable to me. $8,225! The Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation is truly amazing and I'm so happy to have found a foundation that does so much for the cancer community:
-They were the first in Houston to help fund Brain Cancer research.
-At MD Anderson, more than 5 clinical trials have resulted directly from the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation contributions. Funding of research and therapy which has enabled many brain tumor patients to live 5-6 years and more without recurrence. 
-And along with their support of Brain Cancer research, they also are supporters of the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital.

With Dad's upcoming appointments in Houston with another Oncologist, an Oncologist with direct ties to MD Anderson clinical trials, I am so proud that our team has been able to donate over $8,000! This money will fund treatments that will have a direct impact on Dad's fight.

This foundation has given me new hope in Dad's diagnosis, new hope that there will be a day where a cure is found for cancer, a day where fear and anxiety will no longer be felt when someone hears 'cancer', but instead- 'hope'. 

So thank you for your support over these past 6 months, thank you for your donations and kind words, and thank you for allowing me run around like crazy to make our first trip to 'Run For The Rose' a huge success. 

And most importantly- Thank you for helping us BTHO Brain Cancer!
