We have had a few people from NJ run on our TEAM by training virtually. I am actually going to run in a 5k in Pt. Pleasant on June 18 in honor of a TEAMmate who passed away a year ago. It is called the Kevin Brue Memorial 5K. Will stay in touch!<br /><br />BEAT THE BEAST!<br /><br />KevinTEAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644227084068149170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861150972947432127.post-24491779936621270312011-05-30T22:57:17.896-04:002011-05-30T22:57:17.896-04:00Amazing post.

When I was going through treatment for my second recurrence in 2008, my wife and I co-founded a marathon and half marathon training team whose goal was to raise money for melanoma research. We team up with the Melanoma Research Foundation and call it TEAM M4M (Miles for Melanoma). We are just staring our fourth season and to date have raised $350,000 for melanoma research. If you are interested, you can check it out at www.teamm4m.org.<br /><br />Your story and spirit are truly inspiring. And since I like your tag line so much, I thought I would sign off with our TEAM's tag line that is inspired by our vision to end this terrible disease we call the beast. I think it is really appropo because you practice it everyday and will certainly accomplish it on race day this weekend!<br /><br />BEAT THE BEAST!!<br /><br />Kevin Stenstrom<br />Head Coach <br />TEAM M4MTEAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644227084068149170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861150972947432127.post-72811038847867917342011-05-27T14:45:07.784-04:002011-05-27T14:45:07.784-04:00A friend just passed along your blog address.

He has remained a straight A student at a rigorous prep school and continues to exercise, although he has cut back on team sports. He plans to ride 500+ miles over three weeks this summer. He is my hero! <br />I was glad to hear of your continued health and I plan to read this blog soon, when I have a bit more free time.<br />Send me an E-mail if you would like the info on Josiah's caringbridge blog that I write for him.<br />Elizabeth<br />Mainejandehendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916674948123999340noreply@blogger.com
