Andrea was diagnosed late last year with lung cancer and began treatment immediately. Andrea's monthly medication is $2628. My goal is to use every moment of training we do and our completion of the event on October 31st to raise every dollar possible to help Andrea win the fight and to ease the financial burden on her family.

Update for 04/11/2010  4 November 2010

Hi Everyone, it's Andrea here. I would like to thank each and everyone of you so much for your support of Forrest and I over the last 5ish months. I guess if it wasn't for Nancy (the C in my lung) I wouldn't have had the privilege of being on this journey with him. Forrest only told me about his fundraising efforts a couple of months ago which nearly made me collapse at the knees. I think it was when we were running the waterfront one lazy Sunday. I have been very humbled this year by many?people and many occasions?but this sort of took the cake. I asked him if would have done it if Nancy wasn't around and he replied 'Shit no!' So that's just the quality of person i've been lucky enough to traiin with. We've had a lot of fun and now it's all OVER!!? We've completed our first Marathon, and still can't believe we've done it. You can do it too. We're starting up a M running clinic cos we know everything now. You will have drawn the conclusion that Forrest was very passionate about this hence the constant data stream that he can recall, you must have experienced a post run recall I'm sure. We must also thank our darling spouses, Russ and Jenny (aka Tania) for their support and patience with us. Despite the eye rolling and the odd snap we know they do love us and want us to continue running M's. I feel the M?training as forced Nancy to rethink her position and she has gone into hiding. here's hoping it's for a long time. Do I have to keep running?? I will if I have to!
