In August of 2019, my dad was diagnosed with Multiple Myloma, cancer of the plasma cells. After 3 months of radiation and treatment to reduce the amount of cancer invading his body, he underwent a bone marrow transplant and blood transfusion. Fortunately, the treatment was successful and he is able to live his daily life normally. Although his cancer is not curable and he will take a chemo pill every day for the rest of his life, he is still battling and strives to put others first and impact the lives of others in a positive way. To all those who know my dad, you can agree is the most selfless and whole-hearted person and I am truly grateful to have him in my life. In honor of my dad, those who lost their battles with cancer, and those who are currently battling this terrible disease, my friends and I are running the Love Run Half Marathon to raise money for a cause that affects the lives of so many.  Please consider donating so no family living in Philadelphia goes hungry or loses their home because a loved one has cancer.
