A year ago, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. I shared every step of my journey through treatment with Q13 FOX viewers and I am very happy to say that I am now cancer free.

Halfway through chemotherapy, I ran the Seattle Rock n Roll Half Marathon . Now that I have completed treatment, I am running the whole thing--26.2 miles.

I've had some issues during training. I had a foot injury, which has forced me to cut down my mileage.

And there's this other thing. Even though it's been six months since I completed radiation, I still have this weird side effect. Every time I look down, particularly when i exercise, like when I look at my shoes when I run, I get this tingling down my spine and my legs go numb for a second. So I try not to do that. It's freaky. So, I just try to keep looking forward.

                                             
So, that's why I'm running: to celebrate my victory over cancer, and to symbolically complete my journey. I am running with the American Cancer Society's DetermiNation team for the Rock n Roll Marathon on June 26th, and I need your help. I am looking to raise $5000 to help fight cancer.
