The morgue Ive known her from

The morgue

Ive known her from before her political career and am proud to call her a friend. During this process it has been both staggering and awesome to count the number of people she has touched in our community. The number of friends she has is inspiring. Gabe Zimmerman, Gabbys Director of Community Outreach, lost his life that day as well. This hit closer to home in my circle of friends. You see, Gabe was a runner. He recently completed the Mount Gabe Zimmerman finishes the Mount Lemmon Marathon in October 20 Lemmon Marathon and his dad was the leader of the morgue Tucson Trail Runners. He came from a family of runners and was well known in our running family. We are in shock the morgue utter sadness. Im angry. My sense that day was to do something, to help. As a board member of the Southern Arizona Roadrunners, we have a simple mission to promote running and healthy lifestyles in our community. We put on races and sponsor running and walking events. My friend and running mentor, Randy Accetta struck on a simple idea: We can turn our mission to a good use. We can promote healing in our community and continue to share the positive attributes that make our community great. Weve seen it, people coming together to promote healthy lifestyles, to make themselves and their city better. We will promote that healing process tonight at the weekly Meet Me At Maynards. A Remembrance Run in memory of those that lost their lives, honoring those that are still fighting and celebratingwhat is good in Tucson. Tonight we will remember so that we never forget. Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma is a crappy thing, even crappier when it happens to you. Ive been writing for about a month about my experience dealing with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Your feedback has been encouraging, uplifting and has often made me laugh. But its time to get back to writing about running, why its cool and the people that make it great here in southern Arizona. Even though I have to do a few things to keep my Lymphoma in remission, I m moving and looking forward. So thiswill bemy last entry about my race. You can start at the beginning here or, read the previous entry here. I always looked forward to this time after treatment 30 days after my last chemo, when the drug would truly be out of my body. I didnt know what the results would be, but Ive been excited to get back to running.
