On November 8, 2009, the Race Against the Odds, a Team Alexis 5k for Pediatric Brain Cancer Research will be run in Bluemont Park in Arlington, VA. For those of you who are local, it will be a certified course with prizes for the top male and female runners. The race will benefit The Cure Starts Now (www.thecurestartsnow.org) and my daughter, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in April 2008.
This is an inaugural event, and the Race Against the Odds will go national next year in specific locations.
Registration will soon be active on Active.com and for more information, please visit

This is a perfect Marine Corps Marathon recovery run, or the chance to use the miles from fall marathon prep to pull off a fast 5k.
Please consider running this race if you are in the area.
Thank you
