THE STORY:
Hi!
Welcome to my fundraising page! I will be running the New York City Half Marathon (that's 13.1 miles!) on March 17 with Think Pink Rocks to benefit breast cancer research.
In November 2007, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today, she has been cancer free for over 5 years! She's a rock star!
If you have a few dollars to spare for this amazing cause, I would be incredibly grateful. I should probably go put my running shoes on now. This marathon isn't going to train for itself!

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 2013 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.
