Outrun Cancer

This Saturday is an exciting day for our family. As you may already know, shortly after my brother Nick had his liver transplant, he was diagnosed with Lymphoma, a type of cancer. He has been doing very well so far with his chemo treatments. We are all just so happy to see him doing well and being so positive and optimistic. We are all optimistic that he will be able to overcome this trial. We know he has a special purpose here.

Nick's ward has put together an awesome fundraiser to help raise money for him and another lady, Debbie, who also has cancer. Saturday morning there will be a 5K run, a 2 mile walk, a pancake breakfast, and an auction. So many people have donated their time and items to help with this event. There are going to be some great things up for auction, from bake sale items, to gift baskets, to a pool table. We are so excited for this event, and we just want to get as many people there as we can, to help Nick and Debbie.

This will be held at the West Haven City Country Park
