Like many people, Cancer has touched my family deeply, with both heartbreak and hope.  

My grandfather bravely battled leukemia but sadly lost his fight.  I wish we had known about the Bone Marrow & Cancer Foundation (BMCF), and the incredible work they do for cancer patients, during his battle with the disease. 

On the brighter side, my mother is a triumphant breast cancer survivor, and I speak for my entire family when I say that we cherish every moment she spends with us, and her adoring grandchildren.  Seeing her enjoy family, friends, travel experiences, and creating human connections means the world to us.  

In their honor, I've committed to running the 2025 United Airlines New York City Half Marathon.  Your support of my fundraising efforts would mean a lot to me and the BMCF.  No donation is too small—please click the donate button and join me in making in a difference in the lives of cancer patients.  Thank you!    

The Bone Marrow & Cancer Foundation, founded in 1992, is dedicated to improving the quality of life for cancer and transplant patients and their families by providing vital financial assistance, comprehensive resources, educational information, physician referrals, and emotional support programs.  

Guided by a medical advisory board of nationally-recognized cancer specialists and working with hospitals across the United States, the Bone Marrow & Cancer Foundation is the only organization of its kind that does not limit assistance to a specific disease, type of transplant or age range.  

For the past 27 years, the BMCF has connected patients and their families with the services they need—from diagnosis through survivorship—to make effective decisions about treatment and its aftermath.  All of the BMCF’s programs and services are offered to patients and their families free of charge.  To learn more, visit: https://bonemarrow.org/
