Last year, I lost a dear friend to Metastatic Breast Cancer, at the young age of 43. Lisa was so giving, supportive, funny, kind, smart. I struggle to grasp why her. This photo is from last years race, the last time I saw Lisa in person.
Lisa’s advocacy, friends, and family helped her team raise over $25,000 for breast cancer research and prevention. Her team was the highest fundraising team in Minnesota, and she was one of the highest fundraising individuals in the entire US. I’m racing again to honor Lisa’s fundraising achievement and legacy, to help find a cure, and to support other survivors.
