It's official...I'm running the 2013 Boston Marathon!

As of 9AM this morning, I have been officially added to the 2013 Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge roster to run the 2013 Boston Marathon!


I am running in support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute because they saved my wife Angela's life.  Angela was diagnosed with Burkitt's Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 1995 when she was in high school.  She endured months of chemotherapy and all of the nastiness that comes along with that including hair loss, not being able to eat for weeks, and having to re-learn how to walk.  But Angela is living proof of the good things done at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and has been able to call herself a cancer survivor for over 17 years.

Running the Boston Marathon as part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team will allow me to give back to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute by raising money for Cancer Research conducted there and at the same time get to do something that's pretty cool and cross one more item off the bucket list.

If you would like to support me and make a tax-deductible donation to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, please visit:

If you make a donation in honor of, in support of, or in memory of someone, I will run the 2013 Boston Marathon with their name on the back of my shirt.

I'll be using this blog to post updates on my Boston Marathon training and my fundraising efforts.  If you want to be emailed updates from this blog, http://blogtrottr.com will email blog updates directly to your email.
Just enter this blog's address which is:

Also, not being on facebook limits the audience I can speak to quite a bit.  So if people can help spread the word to any relevant groups, pages, etc. it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!
