Nevertheless, She Persisted

All money from this fundraiser will be going directly to Massachusetts General Hospital Sarcoma Team, the hospital that gave me extra time with my mom. In December of 2021, my mom was diagnosed with sarcoma and then in April 2022 it metastasized to her lungs. That fall of 2022, she was expected to be on hospice in 6-12 months. Today I can gratefully say, her treatment has kept her alive AND out of hospice. If you do the math, that is a great deal more time and memories I have been able to share with my mom. But I will tell you that since I found out her diagnosis, my life has completely changed. You don't get to control most things in life but what you DO get to choose is how you react to the pain life brings. Just when you think your days couldn't get any worse, you'll get kicked to the ground again. But getting back up knowing that you could potentially fall down again, THAT is strength. I have watched my mother persist through unbelievably hard battles and in turn, I have up and decided to train and run a marathon in an effort to fundraise and show appreciation for all that Mass General Hospital has done for me and my family. The money will help the hospital to research and hopefully develop better treatment and earlier detection in the future. With what they know today, metastatic sarcoma is incurable. Any and all donations are appreciated more than you know!!
