Lake Michigan here I come… AND Cancer there you go!!!
On May 27, 2012 I will begin ” The Run to Cure Cancer”. There is much planning to be done, but it is my hope to become the first person to ever run around the World’s 6th largest lake. The journey will cover 1037 miles, 4 States and it is my plan to cover the distance in 40 days. The run honors all those who have won, lost and continue to fight this terrible disease. If you have come this far, maybe you’ll take another step or two with me. Would you help spread the word??? Just paste the following to your email signature section on all outgoing emails. (and invite all friends/colleagues to do the same)
40 Marathons 40 Days

Imagine the potential of this….every email we send out and every email our friends and friends friends send out promoting the run. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of impressions!!! Together we can all be a part of ending Cancer once and for all!! Through all of our efforts we’ll raise money and awareness so that very soon we will talk about this disease in the past tense.
I invite you to participate in any way you are inspired to. Send out emails, come and run, donate, BUY a MILE of The Run (see donate page), whatever moves you. See you in Chicago for the kickoff party, the run, the finish…maybe all of them.
Livestrong and say a big thanks everyday for your health and the health of all those you love!!
Thank you,
Steve Cannon
I am interested in running. I lost my eldest brother to cancer and my best friend to lymphoma.
We are on for Lake Michigan…much more to follow…hope you can make it. Sorry to hear about your loss. We’ll run for them both
i 2011, I lost my godmother to brain tumor after an 18 month struggle, and only a two weeks later my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She did not even get a chance to fight and was gone within 3 weeks…I want to help fighting this most unpredictable and powerful beast. I am not an avid runner but want to become one…Please suggest options…
Dani….Sorry for your loss. Cancer sucks!! I hope you can join the run at any time. We’ll have people run a mile or two, 5 or a whole day. It’s a great environmet..the support vehicle is never far away. There will be ALOT of runners that first day at Navy Pier. Join us!!
p.s. if you would like send photos and any words you’d like of your godmother and Mother and we’ll add them to our site (and also run a day in their honor). Keep in touch and spread the word!!
What an awesome initative! I will circulate this story to my friends and family. Good luck to you!!
Thank you Sarah….Hope to see you on the run!!
My 46 year old sister in law is currently battling small cell carcinoma in her brain, lungs, liver and spine. I ran for her last year and it was very satisfying using my health to promote a cure for hers! Keep Running! God bless you! Kick cancer’s butt!
