Prologue

After 15 days and 16 hrs without internet, my service has now been restored (not that I've been counting). When I was first told by a Cable Company That Rhymes With "Dime Corner" Customer Service Representative that it would be 2+ weeks before they would be able to service my faulty internet, this felt like an impossible stretch of time. The first few days were painful, but I quickly made the best of my enforced time lapse to another decade.

Anyways, I digress. Long story short, now that my internet is up and running I can start this blog. If I have deceived you so far, this is not a blog about life without Google, but rather about a different endurance event in my near future. If you are reading this, you probably already know that on March 21st I will be running the NYC Half Marathon on the Run to Stop MS team. This blog is a way to give a little something back to all my supporters.

When I was 5, my Aunt Sylvia was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Ever since I can remember, she has been living with this horrible disease for which there is no cure. She has lost physical strength, making walking an everyday challenge. In addition, she has had to give up her career due to the devastating effects of MS. But there is a way I can help fight for a cure. By running 13.1 miles, I will raise money that will make a difference. Thank you so much to everyone out there that is supporting me in this race.

I know this is a difficult time, but a donation of any amount helps!

More updates on my training coming soon.....
