My Nonprofit Reviews

In November 2010, I was allowed to join Team Continuum Inc. as an athlete, with the agreement that I would raise at least $2,500 for this charity, so I could obtain an automatic entry into the ING 2011 NYC Marathon.

My immediate family, friends, and neighbors, have all suffered through a cancer diagnosis and I couldn't imagine not being there for them. We were all lucky that we and they had family around them to help get them through this difficult period in their life. Unfortunately, there are people who aren't as lucky as others and need love, support, and attention to fight cancer.

One of the many great things about Team Continuum is the support that they give to cancer patients right now when they need it the most. Research is extremely important as well but for someone who is going through this crisis right here and now, Team Continuum is there to support the cancer patients, their families, caregivers, and the local hospitals.

Throught the efforts and support of Team Continuum, the patient can focus on their ability to fight this cancer and not have to worry about food, transportation, accommodations, communications, mortgages and rent as well as many other things they could be stressed about in addition to their cancer fight.

When I told family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers that I was running the ING 2011 NYC Marathon and raising money for Team Continuum, nobody had heard of them. I explained what Team Continuum was and what services they provided. I've lost count on how many people told me what a great deed they were doing and that they wanted to make a donation on my behalf towards Team Continuum. I have a good feeling that raising $2,500 is not going to be a problem.

There is the added benefit of the training that Team Continuum is going to provide all of its athletes in preparing for this years marathon. Team Continuum has some of the best coaches in the area who are providing expert advice on the do's and dont's of marathon training.

I'm excited about the opportunity Team Continuum has provided me. I look forward to raising money for a great organization that is providing a service to people in need of immediate care. I'm glad to know there is someone out there that cancer patients, their families, and hospitals can turn to and count on.
