Good morning Ruth, Thank you for sharing your friend with me. I'm honored to dedicate mile 44 to Iris! She is going to get me to mile 45 no doubt!

Good luck! I know you’ll do it, Julie! Am I supposed to donate something to a favorite cause? If not, I’ll just make an extra donation to Iris’s charity, Chemocessiries, in your honor.

What a generous idea! Here are a couple of options: You can purchase my book: A REAL BALLBUSTER: Untangling Testicular Cancer Together and I will donate a portion of the sales to The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation OR you can donate directly to them. I attached the links or feel free to donate to Iris's charity. I truly appreciate you Ruth. Thank you.
