Like many people, my experience of cancer is at one degree of separation - I've never been diagnosed, but I have lost family and friends over the years. The recent trajectory of research is breathtaking, but also astonomically costly and time-consuming. In my lifetime I fear "cure" will remain just out of reach, and more importantly, innovative treatments will be out of reach of most people for economic reasons. Consequently I will urge that donations in my name should be directed to care for patients now as much as to strive to unlock cancer's "secrets."
Thanks to all who donate, and prayers to all who have, do, and will grapple with cancer personally.

The ERRACE organization was created by a group of professionals with common goals. Together we strive to raise the awareness of cancer, raise funds for cancer research and to inspire the community to be active and health conscious.
We bring together our expertise from multiple aspects of business management, healthcare, community work, fund-raising and athletic endeavors. We are excited to share a fun, safe and inspiring event with the community for years to come.
