March 8, 2020: The day my life changed forever. It was the Sunday before my third year of medical school started back up after spring break. It was also the day I found out I had cancer ― stage 2a Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) to be exact. Nothing that I learned in the past 3-½ years of medical school prepared me for being a patient myself.

In 1970, I was playing baseball in high school as a freshman, playing second base. A bully made a hit and ran from first to second base, tackling me. I got into a fight with him because of the pain I was feeling in my left hand. After the fight, I needed to go to the hospital. In setting my broken hand, they also did a blood test.

It all began in 2010 after my friend Cara and I ran the LA Marathon. We had already trained on our own for the 26.2 miles race. I thought, “Why not just keep running?” That’s when I found the nonprofit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and their fundraising program called Team In Training (TNT)!

I joined Team In Training (TNT) in 2012, when I decided I wanted to train and run my first half marathon. Some of my friends had told me about their success with the program, and while I didn't have a personal connection to The Leukemia & Lymphoma (LLS), it was obviously a worthy cause and I felt I could handle the fundraising aspect.
