One of the company's friends, Larry Davis, recently hosted its own Miles for Meso in Boca Raton, Florida. Larry is an avid runner who was diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma many years ago.

Like our events in Alton and St. Louis last fall, Miles for Meso event was also a 5K race and fun run / walk. Larry did an outstanding job. Not only has there been hundreds of people involved, but he also raised close to $ 15,000 as part of its efforts! All proceeds go to the Foundation for Applied Research mesothelioma.
Larry was able to make some noise about its efforts, even landing a story in the Chicago Tribune, where he talks about his relationship with the race and stay healthy.
"I still believe it helped me as much as anything," said Davis, who has a business doing special glasses for athletes and drivers. "What you get out of the race is more than cardiovascular. It is a mind-body connection. It helps to strengthen the immune system and is essential in the fight against any disease. It is not a cure, but it makes you stronger. "
Hats off to Larry for his attitude and hard work. You can learn more about the Miles for Meso event to www.southfloridamilesformeso.com.
