Race for Hope 2015 Results

May 3rd was the 2015 Race for Hope.  Thanks to all the generous donations from people like you, my team raised $4295 which placed us at 106th place out of 586 teams. The total amount raise for National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure charities was over $2.1 million. It's the largest single fundraising event for brain tumors and cancer to date. Thank you for helping us reach such an outstanding number for those amazing charities.

As for race day, I was blown away. I had team hats made. The race gives t-shirts to the registered participants. I was wearing a yellow survivor shirt. There were over 350 survivor participants and 11,000 supporters registered. Margot and I started the race with the timed runners. We finished at 33 minutes and 30 seconds (much to our own surprise) 940th and 943rd respectively out of 1682. I'm pretty proud of us and my whole team. Thank you to those who supported us in every way.


Next year, I will still form a team and train for it but I won't be campaigning as hard as this year. So thank you, thank you, thank you for donating this year.
