My name is Candice. I have been serving in the Army for 6 years. I really like running! I'm not the fastest, but I never quit! Unfortunately, I've never run so much as a 1/2 marathon or even a 5k due to lack of $, but I've always wanted that opportunity. 

I would love the chance to run the Wasatch back! I would also like to represent such a great organization as the American Cancer Society. Please post a comment and give me this chance!

Thankfully, my family has been blessed and is basically cancer-free. Sadly, the opposite is true for husband's family. They have gone through the devastation of losing many family members to various types of cancer. It's horrible to see good people try so hard to always eat healthy foods, exercise, get enough sleep, abstain from alcohol and tobacco, only to watch helplessly as their bodies become consumed by cancer. 

I believe in our doctors and scientists that are working diligently to find a cure. Our medicines and technologies today are amazing! We've come so far! Let's help them find a cure by raising money and awareness. 

LET'S JOIN EFFORTS!!!
Help me run for the cause! If YOU want to run the Wasatch Back and are willing to raise $400 for the American Cancer Society, PLEASE post a comment! (ask your family & friends to post a comment too!) 
I only have 2 other people on my team so far. I need more! The first people to post a comment-until the team fills up of course- will be on my team!

PLEASE help me- and all those that are affected by cancer- by POSTING a COMMENT, so we can run for a cure!

Hi Candace!

My name is Kim. I'm a 25 year old female from Sandy, UT. I also enjoy running. I'm not the fastest, or the best, but I would LOVE to run this race with you!! I like your idea of joining efforts to win this contest and I think it is fantastic.

I will work hard to raise $400 for the American Cancer Society and I will commit to running this race! Let's do it!

Kim,
My husband just had a job interview in Sandy last week. If he gets it, we could be running buddies and train together :)

Since you're the first to post, you'll definitely be on the team if we win. Let's get lots of people to post a comment! :D

Ok, so I can't 100% commit to it right now, but PLEASE keep me in mind if you need spaces to fill in a few weeks. I want to run the Ragnar, but have a few things that I need to let the dust settle on before I can fully commit. Hope you get it!!! --Carly Allred

I've been running for just under a year now and ran my first 5K this past fall with Kim. She's a strong runner and has been an inspiration to me. I would LOVE to be considered for a spot on your team!

I think you should pick Kim. She runs a fast 5K and she really enjoys running. I know doing the Ragnar will be a highlight of her running career.

You can't go wrong by choosing Kim. Did you know that she completed the 100 Push Up Challenge? She can do 100 consecutive push ups on her toes!! She donates blood so often the needle jumps in her arm when she walks in the door. When she wants something, she goes after it. I doubt she's ever given up on anything in her entire life. She is one tough little cookie.

I think you should pick Kim...she loooooves running, almost as much as she loves Jeeves (her cat)! And Ali too, because they're running buddies! Good luck!
