The Maryland Half Marathon in memory of Rehab El-Buri

Dear all,

My good friend, housemate, and unofficially adoptive sister Sarah Khasawinah is running the Maryland Half Marathon in memory of her childhood friend Rehab El-Buri who passed away from melanoma at age 26 years two months ago. The money raised will be used for the very important cause of cancer patient care at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center.

Statistically cancer is on the rise, but I don't think statistics are necessary considering almost all of us know someone, sometimes someone very beloved, who have had to fight cancer.

Sarah will be running 13 miles (that's 21km for the miles-impaired), and her goal is to raise $200 and she's very close and you can help her reach it!
