Giving Tuesday

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. As the calendar turns to December and we continue to celebrate the season of giving, I wanted to remind everyone that today is Giving Tuesday and encourage you to give back to a cause of your choice or support my efforts to raise money for cancer research as part of my goal to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days this coming January.

What is Giving Tuesday?
#GivingTuesday is a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2nd, charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give. It’s a simple idea. Just find a way for your family, your community, your company, or your organization to do something to give more. Then tell everyone you can about how you are giving, to encourage others to join you in doing just a little bit more to make a difference. 

What you can do to support cancer research and my World Marathon Challenge journey?
As part of my goal to complete the World Marathon Challenge, I have set a goal to raise $77,777 dollars for cancer research in honor of my friends and family who have battled cancer. I have chosen to raise money for the The V Foundation both for the impact Jimmy V's speech had on me as a 10 year old in 1993 and for the great work the organization has done over the past 20 years in advancing cancer research and education. If you want to support me, you can learn more about the V Foundation and my goal here. Either way I encourage you give back to an organization of your choice this holiday season.
