Hello Team ThinkCure! Thank yo…
Hello Team ThinkCure!
Thank you so much for choosing to run the 2012 Big 5K or LA Marathon with us—we're so happy to have your support and partnership in raising awareness and funds to help bring about an end to cancer. Connect with your fellow amazing fundraisers and check overall Team progress by visiting our Crowdrise page at www.crowdrise.com/thinkcurelamarathon2012.
All of us have been touched in some way by cancer, and many of us are running in honor of someone we love. Suzy Rucobo is on our team and shared with me this story about her father that I’d like to share with you:
“March 17, 1993 is a date that will be ingrained in my memory forever. On that date my dad Manuel Rucobo lost his battle with cancer. He suffered from a malignant inoperable brain and battled with it for over 10 years and ultimately lost the battle at the age of 46. I have a lot of fond memories of my dad. He was a big baseball fan and loved taking the family to see the Dodgers play. It was a great time for Dodger baseball it was the early 80’s and the peak of Fernando mania. It is because of those outings as a child that I developed the love of baseball and now bleed Dodger blue.”

Suzy ran her first 5K in 2010 and raised money for ThinkCure! in his memory. She says, “It is a great way for me to pay tribute to him while raising money to help find a cure. As long as I am physically able to run I will continue running and raising money in his honor. This year the race happens to fall on the 19th anniversary of his passing and I can’t think of a better way of celebrating his life.”
Stay tuned! We'll keep you posted with regular news, info and fundraising ideas to help you on your journey. We are putting up Suzy’s picture from the race last year on crowdrise today. Send us your stories and we will share them with the team.
Thanks for your efforts everyone!

Hello Fatima, how are you doin…
Hello Fatima, how are you doing? Welcome to Crowdrise. Here is my November vote for you. You are doing amazing things for charity here at Crowdrise. Please consider supporting my fundraiser for The Trevor Project. It would mean so much to me.

The Trevor Project is all about helping teenagers that are struggeling daily with depression, anxiety, bullying, discrimination just because they are gay. I am a lesbian myself and I have personally experienced how it is when people say you are sick because you are gay. The Trevor Project is a helpline were teenagers can call in and talk to someone about what they are experiencing. There should be equal rights for everyone and it is time to raise awareness and help these teenagers get a good life and let them experience what true love is.

I hope to hear from you.
Cheers,
Elise Marie

CROWDRISING SINCE: Nov 03, 2011
Stuff About Me:

I have always wanted to run a marathon and raise money for a charity group. So I finally made my decision to run for the LA Marathon 2012 after my friend Andrea motivated me to do it! I will not only be running/walking with a huge crowd of inspired athletes, but I will also be joining my oldest sister Vanessa on her first marathon as well. I am a team member of the ThinkCure charity, and my goal is to raise as much money as possible to support this charity and find a cure for cancer. Lastly, I am not only this for myself and the ThinkCure charity, but also for my dearest friend Justin Arias who passed away 4 years ago from cancer. I miss you so much Justin and I know you are in a better place now. This one is for you my singing angel<3  

ThinkCure! advances cures for cancers by funding cutting edge cancer research through seed grants.

ThinkCure! is part of the Los Angeles community. We live and work here and want to make life better here, by ending a disease that touches everyone.

So here’s how we decided to try to make a difference: We raise the money, and then we turn it over to the researchers to work collaboratively to find important discoveries and cures. The researchers are based at City of Hope in Duarte and Childrens Hospital in Los Angeles. That means Los Angeles-area cancer researchers will be setting an example for medical advancement through true teamwork.
