WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL CAROLYN PECORELLA VIRTUAL RUN 4 LIFE FUN-RUN-RAISER!!
Get ready to lace up your sneakers and "join" us in this exhilarating race to support a cause that's close to our hearts. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just love to walk, jog, or roll, and _you've been itching to make an_ IMPACT this event is for you! In the spirit of RELAY FOR LIFE https://secure.acsevents.org/site/STR?pg=entry&fr_id=107509, let's come together as a community to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against this disease.
Carolyn Pecorella. A young woman growing up in the 50s, a loving mother throughout the 2000s, gone too ever soon. 28 years and 11 months ago, she birthed me. A single mother who wanted a child. There are less than 5 weeks until I will be the date marking her 79th birthday. A few days before her passing, we took a picture in the dining room of the home she bought for us back in Fishkill, NY. We were celebrating my 20th birthday.
Never will we be able to take a picture like that again.
Never will we be able to together celebrate my birthday or her birthday.
At this point I would like to thank you for any sympathy you share in learning more about a story you may not have known much at all, or you've been around long enough to have heard before. [Either way] I'm participating in Relay for Life, I'm hosting this fundraiser, and I've shared this story as a reminder of exactly HOW CLOSE TO HOME cancer hurts people. How it affects everyone. How we all know someone who has been affected.
But on APRIL 23RD, 2024 (between 4/21-4/27) I'm asking you to Run for Life to honor and grieve with me in a way that has helped me cope these past 9 years, and to make a donation to Relay for Life, because after reading this - yOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY CANCER.
This virtual race is a FUNdraiser for the Relay for Life of the Grand Strand https://secure.acsevents.org/site/STR?pg=entry&fr_id=107509, being hosted on May 4th, 2024 at Valor Park in the Market Common, Myrtle Beach, SC. On May 4th, I will Remember my mom and the loved ones of all the other participants.
