Cancer Conquered! My 1st Full Marathon Run!

(Photo by: Owee Salva 08.16.10)

On August 16, 2010, I finished my 1st ever 42.2k run. It's not an official organized event for anyone who wanted to join. There was only one runner, and that's me.

The aim of this activity was to earn enough funds to help my friend's dad who is battling cancer one day at a time.

So many people supported this personal event of mine and I thank you all... And yes it's safe to say that at least for now, my friend's dad conquered cancer.

42K laban sa cancer! (fighting cancer through running)

Dear Friends,

I'ts me Brad, I'm inviting everyone to participate in this activity to help raise funds for my friend's father who is now in a war against cancer. My crusade against cancer started in November 2008 when it took Cha-Cha away from me and my family. Shortly after that, my mom had multiple cyst in her breast, and with both luck and blessing, the doctors found out through series of test that they were benign.

Now I have another chance of getting even with it for taking away my pet and for threatening my family of taking my mom away too, I'm doing a full 42 kilometer run and to generate funds, I'm inviting everyone to pledge 100 Pesos per kilometer that I'll run or if possible, you may pledge the full amount of 4,200 Pesos. And what I'm committed to is to finish the 42 kilometer distance. This will be my 1st 42 kilometer run by the way and I promised to make the 1st one very special.

Help me, my friend and his father fight cancer again by pledging or simply take part just by spreading the word about this.

Contact details to know more on how to pledge are written on the ad above!

Thank you so much,

-Brad

On my way, to 42K!!!

(04.15.10)

I'm preparing for my 1st full marathon hopefully on December of this year... I still don't have a proper program to follow and even if I had one, I don't think I'll be able to go through it anyways.

For now, I will (try) to write write just about anything that will help me reach my final goal and that is to (at least) finish my 1st evahhhh full Marathon!

I also plan to make this run just a little bit more special, so I'm stirin' up a little somethin' somethin' on the side...

also stay tuned for that.

But that's all for now, I have to start doing something to help me get me physically and mentally prepared for this!
