Greeting family, friends and random people looking at my profile!

As many of you know, James has been running ½ marathon’s since 2012. I had been doing the MWR Navy Bridge run/walk for years but I jumped on the bandwagon in 2013 to do longer distances and more than just once a year.  At first I would only do 5k’s but eventually I moved on to higher distances and did 5+ ½ marathons in 2019. 10k’s are my favorite! James runs his distances and I walk / run mine. We started doing the Disneyland RunDisney races in 2015 with Star Wars – the inaugural run. We went on to do several more RunDisney races and had ‘perfect’ Star Wars until 2018 was cancelled due to issues in Anaheim. After going to Walt Disney World to do several there, Disneyland is finally doing the races again starting in 2024! Registration was a nightmare and by the time I entered in all the information that RunDisney requires, we were unable to register for the 5k and the 10k (we did get into the ½ marathon) so we decided to sign up for the 5k with a charity and I was unable to find one that was for cervical cancer which took my niece’s Leslie’s life in 2020 so I went on a search and found Dragon Masters Foundation - Team GET FIRED UP which was started after their son died in 2010 of cancer.  Here is their game plan:

• Develop and continue expanding CAVATICA in partnership with the Children's Brain Tumor Network (CBTN). The CAVATICA platform is a free, open access research tool that enables doctors and scientists to easily share, search, and analyze large collections of patient data. The CBTN is a network of hospitals and other research institutions who have committed to sharing their data via CAVATICA.
• Incentivize a culture of collaboration by rewarding qualified researchers who choose to share their data. We do this by funding the Research Symbiont Award on a yearly basis.
• Provide a system for tracking patients from on clinical trial/hospital to the next. This will give researchers better data on deaths and long-term survivors.

If you would like to help James and I with our goal of $1,000, you will find the link below. Any amount will help. You could also donate $5.00 per mile = $15.50 for the 5k distance for one or both of us = $31.00.

Thank you for donating!
