Hi friends!  It’s not time for me to hang up my sneakers just yet ... I am excited to share that I will be embarking on my biggest fitness challenge – The 2024 NYC Marathon!  It is an honor to be running on behalf of Tackle Kids Cancer (TKC).  TKC raises crucial funds for pediatric cancer which directly benefits essential clinical care, unique support services and groundbreaking cancer research needed to find a cure.

I care about finding a cure for pediatric cancer, and we hope you do, too!  All money raised will benefit the Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health and will help their littlest patients become kids again!

The Children’s Cancer Institute at Hackensack Meridian Health has stood as a beacon of hope for children and families dealing with pediatric cancer ... but more can be done.  Pediatric cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease among children in the US and only 4% of cancer research dollars are allocated to pediatric cancer.  These facts are devastating, but the doctors at the Children’s Cancer Institute are working tirelessly to find a cure.  Please support us and help end childhood cancer!

Raising money to find a cure is a marathon – not a sprint (just like my training)! 

We have a long way to go, and every dollar helps!  Will you help me reach my goal?  Even $26.20 can make a big difference to pediatric cancer patients at the Children's Cancer Institute.  P.s. check to see if your employer offers a contribution matching program to increase the impact of your gift.

Thank you for helping me TACKLE 26.2!  Together we can Tackle Kids Cancer and make a bigger impact in this fight against pediatric cancer!  Your support and generosity are very much appreciated!

Warm regards,
Rachael

(And for those in the NYC area, I look forward to hearing your loud cheers along the course!)
