After 14 years, I have met all of my original commitments and officially closed down my charity. Please read my closing letter and accept my heartfelt THANK YOU all for your support over the years!

My Letter

Week 5 of my 14th, and Final Year, for Kidney Cancer Research [1/30/012 to 2/05/012]

February 6, 2012 By Bob

Over the last few weeks a number of people have asked me how I am doing against the 14-year commitments that I made in 1999 for my worldwide marathons for kidney cancer research. As you can see from my 14-year commitments and status chart I have completed commitments 2, 3, and 4 of the 6 major commitments that I made on May 23, 1999. When I finish the Copenhagen marathon on May 20th [yes I am an optimist] I will have completed commitment number 5 – To finish a marathon someplace in the world every year for 14 years. I will finish commitment number 6 to run more miles than the circumference of the earth in December of 2012. The only major commitment that I am unsure of meeting is my commitment to raise $100k for kidney cancer research prior to December 31, 2012. In order for me to meet this commitment – the most important commitment that I made in 1999 – I must have the help and generosity of many people over the next 329 days to raise the $16,095.00 that I need to meet the $100k commitment. If you would like to join the 1,086 people who have donated over the last 14 years click here.
