January 2010 A Runway To Remember - ~ 2009 EVENTS ~ Summer 2009 Julian Krinsky 1st annual Dance-a-thon to help raise funds and awareness for pediatric cancer was a huge success. October/November 2009 tay-bandz "fit for a cure" at Equinox, Scarsdale Bloomingdales Shopping Benefit Event, October 29th - 10AM - 10PM NYC Marathon, November 1st
When Taylor was nine, her Mom ran a marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to honor a dear friend's five-year remission. At the start line, Taylor made a deal with her. She asked if she could run a marathon when she turned 18. Her Mom told Taylor that by the time she turned 18 she would be too old to run, so maybe she could run the marathon and her Mom could walk. She screamed "Deal!" as the race started. Well, in 2009, ING NYC Marathon took place on November 1, the exact date of Taylor's 18th birthday. When Taylor lost her battle the cancer had metastasized to her lungs, and she died having difficulty in breathing. According to her Mom "every breath I take and every time I struggle to run the extra mile, it is with tears for my daughter. This November 1, 2009 my husband and I and several others ran with Fred's Team in memory of and in honor of Taylor. I ran to keep the promise I made to her nine years ago. We feel strongly that running with Fred's Team to support pediatric cancer research is something that Taylor would want us to do." |
