Jim Moore's Story
I have been a runner for a long time, but did not run a marathon until last year, when I ran two - the first to qualify for Boston, and the second, Boston 2011, which I ran for many reasons, possibly the most fulfilling of which was to raise money for CVIM.
I am back to run Boston again this year and want to again contribute what I can to the effort to raise money for CVIM. I am a cancer survivor and, while I was fortunate to have good insurance throughout my treatment, I met people who struggled financially. Having access to regular medical care including checkups helped me to find my condition in its early stages. I hope that having CVIM available to area residents can let people find potentially serious conditions early, as I did, and give them a better chance to get treated while they can still win their fight.
