You can already download the registration from for the 5k in Milton, and in the next week or two, you will be able to get the applications for both the golf tournament and the 5k.SO mark your claendars and stay tuned! If you are interested in donating or helping with any of the events, please contact me at fightondjd@gmail.com We will also be collecting items for the silent auction.

Thanks to all the outpouring of support from all of you, since it began the foundation has given more than $15,000 to families who are battling cancer. This is astounding, and we look forward to continuing to increase that number!

In the next two weeks we will be helping another family. A woman and her 2grandchildren. This is her second time she has battled cancer! We are excited to be able to help her family!

Also, don't forget to contact me if you are interested in running the marathon October 3rd! You can run the 26.2 miles yourself or as part of a 3 member team, where each member will run 8-9 miles. Shirts will be provided to runners, runners are responsible for their entry fee and raising a minimum $25 for the foundation! Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello Mindy!

After I saw you last year ago my mom told me of your story and your prepartion for a marathon. I wish I would have know that day I saw you at OIP picking up a pizza! Some ladies and I at work are planning to run a marathon on October 17th for TNT and I was wondering if you could give me any good fundraising tips. Also if you wouldn't mind keeping me updated on any events you have going on for Derrick's foundation. I would love to participate in runs or through donations. Or even if I could do an event for you down here in York. I think what you are doing is amazing!!! My email address is dehart9@hotmail.com
Thanks! Joann (DeHart) Doyka
