A MESSAGE FROM Madison's Fundraising Page
For years, the idea of running 26.2 miles through the bustling streets of New York City seemed like an unattainable feat reserved for the elite athletes and the naturally gifted - something that I could never do. With newfound determination, I decided to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. I traded in my doubts for dedication, my fears for faith, and my excuses for unwavering resolve. This year, I'm running the 2024 NYC Marathon to support the Melanoma Education Foundation, a nonprofit organization that has saved lives of teens and adults for more than 23 years by providing free resources about early self-detection and prevention of melanoma, a common skin cancer that if often lethal unless found early. As an actively practicing dermatology provider, I diagnose and treat several melanomas year round. Your contribution will help me reach my goal and will help MEF save more lives. If your employer has a matching gift program and you apply, their match will also count toward my goal!!
So, to anyone out there who dares to dream big, I say this: Believe in yourself, trust in your abilities, and never underestimate the power of determination. Dare to challenge yourself and get out of your own way, and who knows? You just might surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
