Training for Transrockies 2015

My week is filled with physical activities between soccer, yoga, trail running and surfing. But this year I took a new challenge; participate in the PepsiCo Transrockies Run3, a 3 day trail run in Colorado, 58 miles, 8,600 feet elevation gain. I decided to take this challenge upon myself to promote my non profit, Supportersize which organizes physical activities for people with Caner.



To prepare for this event I retained a coach, Jacob Puzey of McMillan Running which hopefully can help me prepare for this unusual event. I am very excited, about the training and about the event itself, and hopefully the attention I can get for Supportersize, it is so important to get people who live with Cancer active.

How Exercise May Aid Cancer Treatment

I registered to participate in the Transrockies 2015 as a way to draw attention to a very important (to me) cause - promoting exercise to people impacted by Cancer.
This article in the New York Times is a great story with some facts about what I know from personal experience.

Running for Life

Ariella Gintzler wrote a great article at #Trailrunnermag. It's great not because it is about me, but because it really captures what my family and I are going through, living with cancer and trying to build a momentum behind the non profit I founded #Supportersize that provides free outdoor and exercise events and physical activities for people living with cancer.
