John's Campaign
Growing up as an athlete, John played football at Rutgers University and James Madison University. After Jenny’s death, John frequently turned to running and fitness to free his mind and relieve stress. John ran his first marathon in 2005 and used races as a vehicle to raise funds for BSNCF. He found that running and raising funds in Jenny’s honor was often the extra push he needed to cross the finish line.
In 2016, John qualified and represented BSNCF at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. It gave him the opportunity to visit Australia, a place that was special to his sister Jenny, creating memories and inspiring new BSNCF initiatives. John's pledge is to take Jenny to new finish lines, running each mile to honor her and the fight of BSNCF's cancer warriors.
John has already committed to representing BSNCF in the Marine Corps Marathon in October with his wife, Sheri and the Harbor Lights Half Marathon in November. He will also be taking Jenny to Pontevedra, Spain next April for the ITU World Championship. Please let us know if you would like to race for BSNCF.
Your Campaign
You can follow John's example and launch your own fundraising campaign to support BSNCF. If you would like to leverage training and participating in athletic events, raising funds makes those miles count. Whether you swim, bike, run, walk, or play tennis, we invite you to represent BSNCF by wearing our kit and swag. If athletics isn't your thing, there are many other ways to raise money and awareness. You can create a personalized campaign to honor a friend or to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or cancerversary. You might consider making a pledge to honor someone with cancer, holding a workplace fundraiser, or hosting an event. Rally your friends, family, and co-workers to support your campaign.
Take photos and share them on social media and within your network and share why you are passionate about this cause. The more you post, the louder the buzz created. The more money we raise, the greater our ability to fund our mission.
We look forward to working with you as you take the Foundation to new places and bring smiles. Please contact us at info@bsncf.org to let us know of your plans and progress.
