I am running the ING NYC Marathon as part of Team Sharsheret for a second year in a row in memory of my mother, Joyce Segall, of blessed memory, who courageously fought two cancer battles in her life. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in her mid-thirties and spent the next 20+ years of her life actively involved in breast cancer awareness and counseling.
I so appreciated the unbelievable outpouring of good wishes and support I received last year, both monetarily and emotionally. As I am on the cusp of 50, I figured I have at least one last good year left to run for this amazing cause.
I am so grateful for all of your support last year in having helped me make this an unbelievably successful run. Your support has inspired me to do this again this year, and I ask for your indulgence one more time in contributing to the important work that Sharsheret does.
