I am going to go off on a personal note right now.
In 2007, my fiancée ran the New York City Marathon in support of her Uncle Rick’s recovery in his battle with cancer. Unfortunately, he lost his fight the following year. In his final month, he was supported by the Hosparus of Louisville. This weekend, she and I will be running in the Kentucky Derby Festival in a fundraising effort for the Hosparus of Louisville. I will battle 26.2 in the Derby Festival Marathon to raise as many funds as I can for these two great charities. Please help us raise money for the National Hospice Foundation and the Hosparus of Louisville.
If you would like to donate you can donate on my fundraising page.
Thank you for allowing this brief personal note.

Hey Derrick,
Sorry to hear about your fiancee’s Uncle. I’m from the Louisville area so I’m glad to hear they were there for him.
Glad to help and good luck in the run. Hope you have nice weather!
