If you've been a reader of the blog for some time now, then you know about Marco, our dear friends Chris and Emily's son, who passed away in September of 2011 due to an aggressive form of brain cancer. We were really just starting our friendship with Chris and Emily when Marco became sick, but they have quickly become great friends of ours.
Last year, in honor of Marco, Emily and Chris put together TEAM MARCO to help raise money to Cure Childhood Cancer and participate in the Lauren's Run and CURE Annual Picnic. Mr. Cob, Lukas and I attended the event and ran in honor and in memory of Marco. Our family is participating again this year and plan to annually continue this tradition of celebrating Marco's life.
While I won't be running this year, Mr. Cob has signed up for the 5K! In his words:
I will be running a 5K at the Cure Childhood Cancer Lauren's Run event this year, for the second time. I really only run after soccer balls, or for an extremely good cause. I am running with Team Marco in honor of Marco Giovinazzo. Marco was Lukas’ age and he passed away in September 2011 from brain cancer. Last year, Team Marco raised the most money and had a great presence at the event and I want to continue the tradition in memory of that sweet little boy. Please help us make another strong showing.
