Please donate to my team, THINK PINK ROCKS!  I'm running in memory of my Aunt Elaine, who put up the strongest fight imaginable against breast cancer, but who sadly passed away last Saturday.  On behalf of my Uncle Pete, Gina, and Andrew, thank you to all who have donated to honor her. 

My goal is to raise $2,000, so please please help me reach it!   All donations made on this page (or made to me in person) go directly to the fight against breast cancer- not to me, my flight to NY, or my entry into the race (I have already paid for all of those things.)  Thank you so much for your support!  And hey, if you live in the NY area, come out and cheer me on!

We are a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness about early detection of and genetic testing for breast cancer and to provide funding for screening, treatment and research.


 Did you know:

• A woman's risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer is greatly increased if she carries the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (Breast Cancer gene mutation).

• Men with these mutations also have an increased risk of breast and prostate cancer. Our team will raise money and awareness for breast cancer research.


All money raised for Think Pink Rocks from the NYC Half 2012 will benefit breast cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Some members of our team have a direct connection to breast cancer, but we also have many team members who are running or walking simply because they want to support a great cause.

Think Pink Rocks is a 501 (c) (3) organization. Contributions to Think Pink Rocks are tax deductable to the extent allowable by law.

PLEASE NOTE - WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO JOIN OUR FUNDRAISING TEAM FOR THIS GREAT CAUSE. HOWEVER, JOINING OUR FUNDRAISING TEAM DOES NOT PROVIDE YOU A SPOT IN THE NYC HALF 2012 UNLESS YOU HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH AND RECEIVED CONFIRMATION DIRECTLY FROM OUR TEAM CAPTAIN.
