In case some of you didn't see this in the NYTimes:

Prior research by some of these people is why I trained the way I did when I had to deal with cancer again just over two years ago. I've been following Lee Jones' research for almost 4 years now. However, these studies still need to be done in humans. With all the charity runs for cancer it is shocking that we are still stuck in mouse models, mostly because very little, if any, of the cancer charity run money goes to exercise research.
If you can donate to exercise-oncology research just once a year, even a small amount, and tell others, that can help to get human research sooner rather than later. Lee Jones is one of WorkOut Cancer's scientific advisors, and he just received grants from AKTIV Against Cancer (Grete Waitz co-founded charity).
We could also use some runners to fundraise for us. Unfortunately, WorkOut Cancer was denied charity bibs for NYC Marathon, but if you get a bib for any race you can still fundraise for us through E-Race Cancer (our fundraising e-vent). AKTIV I'm sure has NYC charity bibs.
