This past year, I lost a very dear friend, Christopher, to Cancer. In 2021 he was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. It was a Cancer none of us had heard of. We were in law school and he took a break from school to undergo Chemo treatment and continued to fight with the intention of returning to school. In November of 2021, we got the news that his cancer was terminal and he had six months. The news got worse from there and he passed away in December, a week after his birthday.

Apparently, he had likely had the Cancer since he was young. So in a way, we were fortunate to spend the time with him that we had. I feel lucky to have known him and honored to be his friend. My father and I are running the London Marathon on behalf of Sarcoma UK in the hopes that the funds are used towards Cancer research to help people like Christopher.
