Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog on training for the Marine Corp Marathon. I am training for the marathon, and plan on completing it, in order to raise money for Team Fox, the grassroots fundraising arm of the Michael J. Fox Foundation. I joined Team Fox three years ago in honor of my mother, Nancy Messick Ray, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in the year 2000. My mother has endured this disease with grace and dignity despite its increasing impact on her quality of life. I believe that the research funded by MJFF is the best hope to improve the life of my mother and the lives of other Parkinson's patients.
I hope you will join me in the fight against Parkinsons disease by supporting my Team Fox efforts. Direct donations can be made through my Team Fox page.
If you are interested in following the journey of an ordinary forty-something year old trying to do something out of the ordinary, please follow my blog. For the next few months I will posting the dirty details of training, some fun facts about an amazing woman (my mom), and some not-so-fun facts about Parkinson's disease.
