Rachel Katz: Why I Run

On April 30th, I am running the Country Music Half-Marathon in Nashville, TN to raise money for carcinoid cancer research. I am running in honor of Payton Greaber, my college roommate's sister who passed away three years ago from this cancer at the young age of 29.  Caring for Carcinoid is an amazing organization that raises money for carcinoid research and is committed to finding a cure for this currently uncurable disease.  Every penny given to this organization goes directly to fund research.

This 13.1 miles race will be an amazing experience, as I will be running for Payton and all other families affected (~100,000) by this disease. For every $100 raised, I pledge a mile to a family member affected by carcinoid.  With just 13 donations of $100 (smaller and larger donations are accepted too! every penny counts!) I can cover the entire length of the race! Please consider donating to this great cause and you will be helping children and families, and help prevent future generations from suffering from this disease.

Thank you so much for your support!
