 Hello, my name is Maria Teresa Feiji. Kidney Cancer Association supported me and my family when my dad was diagnosed last November. I was on Google looking for kidney cancer things, and I found the Chicago Marathon. Carrie Konoski was in this link, and I sent her an email and asked her what I need to do to run the marathon. So, well, we talk about fundraising and stuff, and that is how I became a volunteer of the Kidney Cancer Association. At that time, I had been living in the States for six months, so I thought raising money was going to be hard. I became a volunteer helping patients in other languages and trying to break barriers between languages. Shouting every Tuesday with Ellen and knowing people online and trying to help them and get support from them. My dad, Jose Maria Wendia, passed away almost seven weeks ago, but we keep his fighting for him and with him. We continue raising funds. I just finished the Chicago Marathon with his picture in my back and his heart with mine. Two hearts run more than one. My heart and my spirit were with him. Kidney Cancer Association has given us the chance to keep fighting this cancer. We need to raise more funds. We need to raise more awareness. We need to educate future generations to know how to be diagnosed, to educate themself what are the symptoms, because this is a very sneaky cancer that usually is diagnosed in data stages like what happened to my dad. Thank you, Kidney Cancer, for allowing me and my family to keep this fighting.
