The South Florida Wishing Well-Miles for Meso 5k

Amongst my many hobbies I also play co-ed softball on Friday night's for ADT Security. I don't know how this happened but the shortstop talked me into running this race on Valentine's Day. YES, YES, YES, I know it's for a good cause HOWEVER, Sunday morning at 6am is a little rough for me but I will still be there with a smile on my face!!! The money from the race goes to Mesothelioma Research. All kidding aside, I am happy to help support this cause along with my teammates..

What is Mesothelioma???
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body's internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the disease, accounting for roughly 70% of cases, and occurs in the lining of the lung known as the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart.

"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character." ~T. Alan Armstrong
