I am IN IT to END IT! I am honored to be walking (I did it 13 years ago!)with thousands of others who have made the same courageous commitment: to help raise awareness and funding for this devastating disease. We will push ourselves far beyond what we ever thought we were capable of doing. I know more people than I can count that have been affected by this horrendous disease. Too many people have had their lives torn apart. I refuse to sit by and watch it happen.
