BASED: Worthington, OH, United States
CHARITY WEBSITE: ROC on! (Run Over Cancer)
ROC on! (Run Over Cancer) was started in 2008, after Laurie Dangler, a doctor in Columbus, Ohio was diagnosed with brain cancer while she was training to run the Columbus Half Marathon. Laurie went through two very long surgeries to remove only 90 percent of the tumor, then six weeks of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Laurie became determined to run as many half marathons as possible while at the same time helping others with the same illness. Brain cancer has no cure and results in over 17,000 deaths in the United States every year.
On top of brain cancer, Laurie was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2011. She is still committed to fighting cancer of all kinds.
