A #pandemic doesn't slow down #cancer, so April decided it wouldn't slow her down either.
April is all too familiar with cancer and its toll on families. Her father passed away from prostate and #lungcancer, and her brother from #pancreaticcancer. Additionally, April has lost nine aunts and uncles from the disease.
Running a #marathon wasn’t enough for April; she wanted to run a marathon squared, 687.42 miles!!
Running six or seven miles each day before work and going on long runs on Saturdays, April completed her mission on October 31, the day before she would have run the #NewYorkCity Marathon. Several family members and friends finished the last three miles with her physically and via Zoom.
The experience was emotional and humbling, as April never lost sight of why she was running and supporting #cancerresearch.
