LIVESTRONG Challenge Update
I participated in the LIVESTRONG Challenge 5K Run/Walk last weekend in San Jose, CA, in honor of my dad and Justine.

The event, which benefits the Lance Armstrong Foundation, raised more $1.3 million in San Jose and just over $1 million in Seattle earlier this year. I personally chipped in $1,470, which exceeded my goal of $1,000. Thanks to everyone who donated!

It was a beautiful and inspiring event, especially seeing all the cancer survivors that participated. I hope that all of you can be part of the LIVESTRONG Challenge next year either as a participant or a donor. I plan on participating in next year’s event, but I’m still collecting donations for LIVESTRONG. If you want to donate, visit my LIVESTRONG Challenge page.
