“SuperPowers!” This is my family and friends’ amazing team name for the Race for Hope to fight against brain tumors. As many who are close to me already know, my family’s been doubly affected by brain tumors recently, and we’ve therefore been active in the DC Race for Hope fundraiser for the last four years. I will again be spearheading my annual Hoop for Hope efforts, giving away beautiful hand-crafted hoola hoops on race day in exchange for a donation to the cause. Our team is already actively seeking donations for this incredibly important cause culminating in a 5k race/walk/hoop(!) to take place in early May. Please consider making contribution of any amount you can spare towards finding a cure for brain cancer. More to come on volunteering, joining our team and/or the race, donating hoop materials etc. in the coming months. In the meantime, please feel free to email me from the CONTACT page of this site if you’d like to be involved, and THANK YOU, in advance, from the bottom of my brain and the belly of my heart!
