Tarrah Speer-Mackovic is a Warrior and on a mission to Fight For Life!

I am running the 2010 Denver Komen Race for the Cure in honor of Glory Gensch (pictured above), who lost her life to cancer at age 23 in 2007. I am asking for donations to be made directly to Glory’s charity, RACE Charities. Even though she is gone, her voice still lives through her legacy, RACE Charities. RACE is an acronymn for Raising Awareness of Cancer Early-on.

RACE focuses in these three areas:

- Supporting new advancements in the area of early detection of cancer.
- Raising the level of a doctor’s awareness of each patient with a family history of cancer.
- Promoting accountability of medical professionals so that they may take every precaution possible during a high risk patient’s care for early detection.

Warrior Runners join together in support of anyone fighting any battle by participating in city-wide walkathons, Run for the Cure’s, 5 & 10K’s, and marathons. Glory believed in the creedo: “Don’t Ever Give Up!”.

Most importantly, Glory believed that her story and the stories of her three cousins, who have experienced hard fought bouts with cancer, are testimonies to the fact that one can never be too careful. Cancer does not respect personality or age. RACE believes raising awareness of cancer within family blood lines, providing funds to help improve the medical advancement of early detection, and promoting a healthy life-style are the best avenues to actively promoting the survival of cancer patients.

There is a tremendous need for early detection cancer research advancements and your help is greatly appreciated!

RACE Summary

RACE Charities is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awarenes of cancer through early detection. 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!
