We
had a great trip to New York City this past weekend for the NYC Half Marathon with
the NF Endurance Team of the Children’s Tumor Foundation. There were over
40 people running the race for the CTF this weekend--I've never been part of a
team that big!
Saturday night we had dinner with the team, and I got to meet several people from the
foundation who I've known for years through emails and fundraising, but who
I've never met in person! I was honored
to meet president of the Children's Tumor Foundation, Dr Annette Bakker, and
the director of the NF Endurance team, Emily Crabtree.

 |
| Look at that enormous team! |
Our
dear friends, Neil and Marcia joined us, too, and Neil—my running partner—ran the
race.
It
was a bitter morning! Having attending the
cold, dark starts of many early morning races, I brought just the right amount
of layers this time. I felt good during
the race and afterwards, and initially thought I set a PR, but it turns I was a
minute slower than last year. Oh well! Still lots of races left this year.

Jane/NF Update:
In my last post, I promised to share the final version
of flyer for the NIH Rare Tumor Initiative that featured Jane’s picture. Here it is.
I think it’s perfect!
