Neither rain nor cancelled events can stop hope.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put one foot in front of the other. It\u2019s advice for patients facing cancer treatment \u2013 and for marathon runners.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beth Blakey, Cancer Hope Network\u2019s Associate Director of Development, recently completed her first-ever marathon. But the challenges she faced weren\u2019t just physical. Halfway through her training, her chosen marathon was cancelled due to Covid-19 concerns.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continued to put one foot in front of the other \u2013 deciding to put the months of training she\u2019d already endured to good use. Her Chasing Hope fundraiser<\/a> was born.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRunning a marathon has been a goal of mine for many years. So, I decided to sign up for my first 26.2 mile race this year (yikes!). I had already been training for several months when my race was cancelled due to COVID. Training was so hard, both physically and mentally. This cancellation was soul crushing news\u2014but it was nothing compared to receiving a cancer diagnosis. My mom is a two-time cancer survivor, and I\u2019ve seen first-hand the fear, devastation, and isolation of cancer. So, instead of throwing myself a pity party and throwing away months of hard work, I decided to focus on the fact that I had an extraordinary opportunity to make achieving my goal mean something to more than just me.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beth\u2019s tenacity paid off \u2013 as she and friend Jennifer Bauscher completed their 26.2 mile trek through the drizzly North Jersey countryside on Sunday, October 10, cheered on by family and friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMove for Hope is more than a fundraising campaign at Cancer Hope Network,\u201d said Executive Director Cynthia Gutierrez Bernstein. \u201cIt’s about shining a light on exercise as an important tool for improving our physical and mental health.\u202fAnother tool is 1-1 peer support. The efforts of people \u2013 including dear colleagues like Beth \u2013 help raise awareness of our services while also making them possible through their fundraising. We are incredibly thankful to Beth and all who supported her run. Together, we will ensure that no one faces cancer alone.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorking at CHN, I\u2019ve also seen the power of hope inspired by personal, 1-1 connection with someone who\u2019s been through a shared lived experience and truly understands what you are going through when facing cancer,\u201d concluded Beth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Beth for the many ways she makes our lives \u2013 personally and professionally – better. Her tenacity, strength and commitment to ensuring support and hope for cancer patients and the people who love them is deeply appreciated.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
