Why I Run: Elizabeth Traugott

Why do I run?
It's that time of year again! I’m running the Country Music Half Marathon. This is the fourth year that I’ve trained with The Little Team that Could and I get excited every year. We have been raising money for The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation. This little group got started after one of my good friend’s sister, Payton, died at 29 years old of this very rare cancer. 

As a nurse I’ve seen many patients experience cancer and sometimes the job can make you me feel helpless. Raising money for the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation has helped me feel like I can make a difference in my patients’ life. By raising awareness we can help people detect cancer earlier. By raising money for research we can help create new treatments for cancer. 

Every penny donated to the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation goes directly to research. Please consider donating to this worthy cause and help us find more treatments for cancer.
