My Motivation & Why LAF

The Lance Armstrong Foundation Unites People to Fight Cancer
Cancer is something everyone should be united to overcome. Cancer does not discriminate: no matter your age, race, gender, wealth, fitness level and/or where you live in the world. The LAF takes on any form of cancer via education, care & research.

Boston Marathon Less Than 1 Week Away!!!

It's hard to believe that it is April already and the Boston Marathon is on Monday. Please accept my apologies for those who have been checking the blog awaiting an update. Things have been very busy since I crossed the finish line in the Windy City back in October – my wife is pregnant with our first child and started a new job.

While my fingers were idle updating my blog page, my legs have been hard at work training since the end of November for the marathon. The winter months training have had a nice mix of sun, snow, high winds, freezing rain and ice. Despite all this, I'm still smiling and looking forward to Monday.

In terms of fundraising when the gun goes off on the 20th we will have raised over $8,000 for LAF. That's something we can all feel good about. Thank you again for your generous donations and continued support.

If you would like to add a name to my race day shirt there's still time. I’ll be accepting names until tomorrow evening (4/14).

Warmest regards,

Scott
