I was lucky enough to participate in THON 2005 as a dancer, and in the alumni relay in 2015 (Team Courage) and 2016 (Extreme Team). I run for my wonderful nephews Wyatt, Tyler, Morgan, Ben, and Nate; for my niece Camille; for Ellen; for Lily; and in the hope that childhood cancer treatments can advance to the point where we no longer lose our children to these horrible diseases.
