NEW YORK CITY MARATHON 2022
THIS. IS. PERSONAL. Fighting to find a cure and raise awareness.
In 2014 my father, Jeff Cazier, lost his battle to melanoma. I was a young father with two daughters ages 3 and 1 and felt as though my dad had so much of his life still left to live.
I grew up watching my dad run a few races every year. My mother would load me up in the family car with my brothers and sister. We would leapfrog and cheer him all the way to the finish line. I started running 1-2 years before my father’s final battle. During his illness, running became therapeutic for me and quickly turned into my passion. Running helped heal me. I feel a deep connection to my father through a sport we both love.
That's why I decided to make my NYC Marathon more meaningful and support Jack's Fund. Their mission to fund research and provide awareness programs (early detection saves lives) makes a real difference... and you can be an important part in it.
If you or someone you know has had precancerous cells or have melanoma, you already know. If you have been fortunate so far, let me explain why Jack's Fund needs your donation.
- Melanoma is a very serious form of skin cancer. Although accounting for only 4% of total skin cancer cases, melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer related deaths.
- Melanoma is the second most common cancer for young adults ages 15-29.
- The risk of being diagnosed with melanoma doubles with five or more sunburns at any age.
- The risk of developing melanoma is increasing and most frighteningly, the cases of melanoma among young children are on the rise.
Since the risk of melanoma effects or has affected each and every one of us, the work that Jack's Fund is doing to increase research funding and to develop awareness programs is so important.
As partners in this fight, I will do my part and keep you informed about my training and running the NYC Marathon with Jack's Team.
Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my fundraising goal for Jack's Fund. Please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of $2,500.
Giving online is secure and easy. Even if you can't help with a donation today, please keep Jack's Team in your thoughts as we run the streets and bridges of New York in November.
