On Saturday, October 24, I'm participating in the 15th annual Miles for Moffitt...and I need your help! 

I wanted to work at Moffitt because I wanted to make a difference. Sounds cliché, I know! But it's true.  I've always wanted to use my skills to help people.  And who doesn't want to help an organization that is trying to prevent and cure cancer?

But the mission came to life for me a few weeks before I started working at Moffitt.  I meet a lady who had metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her brain.  My heart sank when she said she had gone to Moffitt but there wasn’t anything they could do for her.  A few months later, I found out that she died.

She wasn’t the first person I knew who had died from cancer.  But for some reason, that chance meeting and conversation stayed with me. I think it was a wake-up call that working at Moffitt is more than a job.  Just like Miles for Moffitt is more than a run/walk event. 

Miles for Moffitt is a community-wide movement of inspiration, courage, and hope that allows our community to come together to raise critical funds for cancer research at Moffitt. 

Please join me today in raising funds for Moffitt patients, families, survivors, and caregivers by joining my team or making a gift. 

Thank you for your support!
