Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.... Robert Frost

Story

Welcome to my road... or should i stay streets in NYC!!!

On Sunday, November 3, I'm proud to be running as part of Team ALS TDI for the upcoming TCS New York City Marathon. I will be running 26.2 miles on behalf of the The ALS Therapy Development Institute, an Official Charity Partner. Your donations fuel our continuous efforts to advance promising drugs and help END ALS. Please help me by making a donation.  

I will be running in memory of my dear friend Jose Cofino and my boyfriends brother, Ken Melanson. I first met Jose with his partner Ben, at Augie's Quest.   Jose and I immediately hit it off just talking and laughing the whole evening.  We all didn't want the party to end so after the gala I rode with him in his chariot (well on his lap with his electric wheel chair) to the after party.  We giggled the whole way.  He brought much joy to a room with his laughter and smile.  I was very lucky to see him a few weeks before he passed away.  He told me to live my life fully and with joy.

Live your life with as much adventure as you can take, laughter as much as the belly can handle, and love as much as you can give.  Miss you and love you.
