I can now confirm I ran the 5k on Saturday and I can now confirm that I could hardly move yesterday and it’s even worse today. But I’ll take it any day for this wonderful cause!

All the best

I’ve joined this years virtual team in honor of my sister, Erin Korengold, who lost her battle to lymphoma in 2020. I miss her dearly and in her honor, will make 50 swings in a batting cage this month. Working at the National Institutes of Health, where committed scientists find cures for so many diseases, I’m happy to see the work that 5 for the Fight does for cancer research, especially at institutions like Howard University.

Update: here I am getting my fifty swings in yesterday. It was a beautiful morning in the Washington, DC area. I left with sore hands (I use a wooden bat) and shoulders, and a full heart.

 

Thank you again for sharing! What a fun way to honor your sister ⚾

I both hate and love when that happens.  I like knowing I worked hard and that’s why my body is so sore….but also, being uncomfortable is no fun!  Way to go on finishing it!!!

Good afternoon from a cloudy Sweden! 

I am unfortunately unable to join any of your races, but I will actually run a 5k race this Saturday called “Lundaloppet” which is a local 10/5k race here in the town of Lund, Sweden. I’ll be sure to think of you as a suffer through each meter :)

 

All the best

Luckily, my family doesn't die of cancer or have a hard time, but I know that many acquaintances and their families are suffering from it. I am very happy to share a meaningful experience. I hope many people will have an opportunity to cheer up.

So grateful that your family hasn’t been directly impacted 💜 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!
