GARAGE SALE with 100% proceeds going towards Noah's light foundation

100% of proceeds will go towards raising funds for Dopey Challenge to support the Noah Protocol, to fight pediatric brain cancer. Insane yes but what a great way to fight for a cure!

January 2014, I am running the Disney marathon....and the 1/2 marathon....and the 10k...oh yeah and the 5k, also known as the Dopey Challenge. Four days of "fun" for a total of 48.6 miles. Why you may ask? To not only challenge myself but more important, to find a cure for pediatric brain cancer by supporting visionary doctors in pediatric oncology, funding new research in the field, raising awareness of the cause, and enriching the lives of the brave children struggling with this disease. I'm doing this with my girlfriend Cheri Pesina who's nephew pasted away last year - Noah, and his brave fight against medullar blastoma. His legacy lives on today through The Noah Protocol, a revolutionary fight against children's brain and spine cancer. You're donation helps fund the Noah Protocol, an i...nnovative immune based therapy. Take a look at a video of what this research is aimed at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYVr5o5ALOc&feature=youtu.be

Training for this event is not going to be easy. But running for a worthwhile cause and purpose is something incredibly special. As I run this marathon, I will be thinking of some of my friends and family members who succumbed to cancer- my aunt Lisa who passed away with lung cancer,Grandpa Gorman-who passed away from leukemia,great aunt Charmaine- who passed away lung cancer, Uncle Harold-colon cancer, my dad (Harry)esophageal cancer - 5 yr cancer free, my aunt (Joann) non-hogkin's lymphoma- 10 yr cancer free, my boss (Pat G.)- cervical cancer - 1 yr cancer free, close friend's father/husband (Len G.) who is battling mesothelioma cancer & Noah and his brave fight against medullar blastoma.
