Collette is a remarkable woman with a mission... to raise at least
ten thousand dollars in the 2014 Boston Marathon for the benefit of
the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research.
To learn more about this extraordinary cause, please click
here.
Collette's marathon run is even more challenging because she suffers
from Meniere's disease, an inner ear disorder that affects balance
and hearing, and has resulted in the surgical removal of her right
sided hearing and balance. However, regardless of her own
affliction, she started training in April 2013, one year before the
upcoming 2014 Boston Marathon, and six months before her first half
marathon, which she completed in October 2013. With just a few
months to go her training continues as does her fundraising for her
run and this cause…
Compassion, time, love, patience, persistence and perseverance are
essential components of helping people in need, both near and far,
but when it comes to research—research that is searching for a
complete cure, or trying to just make progress with a disease or
affliction—money is what is needed most.
Please consider supporting the Claudia Adams Barr Program in
Innovative Basic Cancer Research, through Collette’s 2014 Boston
Marathon run. To do so, and to read more about Collette and her run,

helps.
Meniere's or not, Collette is determined to make this run, reach at
least her milestone and help with this cause; you can be a part of
that.

Friend of the Family
