Team Bob Chicago Marathon! - Anne Grady

Hi all!

Thanks for taking some time to look at the website, possibly donate, and hopefully forward it on to others... most of you are friends and family but I will give a little of my background for those of you that I dont know yet. My name is Anne (Annie) Grady. I am the youngest child of the Mary Ellen & David Grady family from Lakewood, Ohio. I recently completed my undergrad & graduate degrees from St. Bonaventure University in Western New York. Without another year at Bonas (or a job) I knew I had to plan something to keep me busy after graduation ... so I registered and began training for the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon!

This October 7th I will be running 26.2 to represent TEAM BOB. Two years ago my oldest sister Kate's husband Bob Sessions was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Friends & family formed the team in an effort to raise funds for research. It was a huge success and amazing to see all of the support given to my sister Kate, Bob, and the kids.

Though I am running for TEAM BOB, I will be fundraising for both the American Cancer Society as well as the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. It is important to me to raise funds for ACS in memory of my dad and all those friends & family members' lives which have been touched by some form of cancer. My decision to also include MMRF in my efforts is out of the HOPE that a cure for Multiple Myeloma is near and we can keep Bob in the great health he is in today.

I have set a goal of $2620 ($100/mile) for each of the foundations. I know that funds can often be tight but even the smallest donation will help! Please forward on this link to anyone you feel would be willing to give. Thank you for your support!

With HOPE & LOVE,
Anne Grady

We tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use donor eggs. I know we have to try herbal medicine. I was terrified. I didn't know how to go about it and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended Dr Itua herbal medicine in Western Africa. I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country and I was afraid with shame. I must say I thought it was a little bit...wild? Anyway she convinced me to at least check it out. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr Itua has reasonable prices. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses Natural Herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. My Husband gave it a try and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple. The doctors and staff were so confident and hopeful they projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr Itua and Lori My Dear Friend. Don’t be afraid and just do it! Try Dr itua herbal medicine today and sees different in every situation.Dr Itua Contact Info...Web www.drituaherbalcenter.com/drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua have cure for the following diseases.All types of cancer,Liver/Kidney inflammatory,Myeloma,Fibroid,Infertility.Herpes Virus Hiv/Aids, ALS, Parkinson, Hepatitis,Diabetes..
