Couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day if I tried. ❤️

A true New England fall day. 13.1 miles, happy and healthy, pounding the pavement next to some of the best friends a person could ever ask for.

Almost three years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and had absolutely no idea what was possible.

Today, I walked a half marathon at the @thejimmyfund Walk.

Somehow, the 13.1 miles weren’t even the part that got me.

My morning started with so many texts from friends and family who remembered this day. No reminder needed. Then I got to the Walk and checked in at Top 250 registration. Are you kidding me?! 😭

Friends. Family. Industry friends from all over the country. People from different chapters of my life. People I haven’t talked to in years. People I’ve never even met.

You showed the f*ck up.

Together, we raised more than $24,000 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. And I walked those 13.1 miles wearing a bib that said I was the #14 individual fundraiser.

Again...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Having some of my best friends walk every single one of those miles beside me meant more than I can say. They signed up for this crazy idea, showed up and pounded the pavement by my side. I will never forget that.

Some of you donated for me. Some for your mom, your sister, your husband, your friend, your child. Someone you lost. Someone still fighting. Maybe yourself. Every donation had a story behind it.

More than $24,000 because so many people showed up for someone they love. All of it going toward giving the next person who hears you have cancer an even better chance.

And the volunteers. ❤️ I have never met a more excited, motivating, sweet and caring group of people. Every bell, every cheer, every high five kept us going. I teared up more than once. You were incredible.

I know exactly how lucky I am to still be here. Today was a pretty incredible way to spend some of that time.
To every single person who donated, texted, shared, walked, volunteered, cheered me on or trusted me with your own story, thank you.

And to my LymphHomies...I love you. What a day.
$24,000+. #14. 13.1 miles.

Fuck cancer. ❤️
