FOR MY NIECE, AND EVERY LIFE TOUCHED BY CANCER

Hi friends! Please join me in my goal to raise money and awareness to fight childhood osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer among children, adolescents, and young adults.

As many of you know, my niece was diagnosed with osteosarcoma when she was 15, when she experienced pain in her leg. After her diagnosis, she underwent multiple surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy and her treatment course was complicated by pain, anxiety and illness. This uncertainty has been part of my family’s life for more than four years.

​

I’m happy to share that my niece is doing amazing! She's in her sophomore year at college and studying nursing. She wants to become a pediatric oncology nurse and I know she’ll succeed at anything she wants to accomplish.

​

In honor of my niece and to support the Camden Bailey Cancer Foundation, I am running the Honolulu marathon in Hawaii to raise money to support osteosarcoma research. Please consider donating to my run to support this worthy cause.

​

I’ve never run a marathon. While I’m training and the road seems difficult, I remember that at least I’m able to run. So, I will keep training and running, understanding that my pain is small when compared with that of so many patients with osteosarcoma.
