Welcome to Team Vic!   My name is Susan, and I'm here to honor my dear friend, Vicky.

A little about me:   I'm 40 years old and have never run a marathon.  I've done a few triathlons and have been looking for my next challenge.  I started thinking about running a marathon but wanted to make sure it was the 'right' one... one that was about something much bigger than just the run.  I learned about this marathon and felt drawn to it immediately because 100% of the proceeds, including my own registration fee, go to breast cancer research and care for women living with breast cancer.   I chewed on the idea for a few weeks and then the bomb dropped:  Vicky was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer.  Instantly I knew I was meant to do this marathon.

A little about Vicky:  Vicky is the most generous, hard-working, selfless woman I know.  She is in her 30s - most women who have been diagnosed with IBC are much older - and she has a husband and two little ones who need her desperately.  She is determined to beat this cancer and her courage and her passion are inspiring.  I can't wait to see her smiling face as I cross the finish line in February.   I am also looking forward to the day her doctors declare her cancer-free.  That day will come.   Vicky will beat this.  She is strong.  

Vicky is my friend and I love her.  Everyone should be so blessed to have a friend like Vicky.
