When I took on the challenge of running the NYC Marathon with the support of the G02 Foundation For Lung Cancer, it made me think of my great aunt, Nancy Gruseke.

Nancy was a lifelong New Yorker. Born in lower Manhattan, she spent nearly her entire life living in New York. She was a quintessential New Yorker - hardworking, incredibly well read, and intellectually engaged with everyone she met.

Sadly, Nancy was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer two years ago and only a year later she lost her battle to this awful disease.

Please help me support GO2 Foundation For Lung Cancer by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with family and friends. Every dollar raised will advance GO2 Foundation For Lung Cancer's mission to help change the reality of living with lung cancer by ending stigma, increasing research funding and ensuring access to care.
