Abbey Herr is a Warrior and on a mission to Fight For Life!

Glory was a sorority sister of mine and a great friend. Her legacy lives on through her family/friends and this amazing organization she and her brother founded. I would like to challenge myself this year to run the P.F. Changs half marathon in Phoenix Jan 2010! I am not a runner, but know that if Glory can battle through surgery, over a dozen chemo infusions, and several radiation treatments in a year, then I can run for her. I will also be running in memory of my grandmother Bette McGraw, who passed from Breast Cancer and my Grandpa Herr who passed away after having several strokes. My dad ran the half marathon and then the full marathon in honor of his father years ago and if my dad can run it so can I! I will walk/run for Glory!

RACE organizes events around the country in efforts to raise awareness of the importance of early detection of cancer, especially for young people with a family history of cancer. RACE was founded by Glory Gensch (pictured on top of Page) who passed away from colon cancer at the age of 23. Glory’s legacy and mission lives on through RACE Charities, whose fundraising campaign is focused on raising money to donate directly to nationally renowned early detection research institutes throughout the United States. Glory, as well as all RACE volunteers and members, believe that if our efforts can save just one life, then it is well worth the sacrifice!
