Can't hardly believe it but the NYC Marathon is just around the corner.
I am VERY THANKFUL for all of the donations I've been able to receive so far.
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
I am racing with the thought that Every Single Polka-Dot On My Jersey Represents a Blood Clot Survivor. That inspiration gets me out of the door, in my running shoes, gets me to track, and up or down the stairs with sore legs after a long training run..
If you know of anyone else who may be interested in donating please pass along the link below...

Just this past week I learned that I co-worker of mine who I've known and worked with for years is a multiple blood clot / PE survivor...After seeing some of the literature around my desk he finally opened up to me about his story and I was blown away that someone I would have never suspected was in fact a survivor and on blood thinners for life...
Just one more polka-dot to designate on my jersey as additional motivation...
Not much left now.
A few more short weeks.
Thanks for reading,
The Clot Buster

Please designate a dot for me. I'll be ordering my jersey soon enough. I was diagnosed with Factor V Leiden Homozygous in 2006 following 3 clots that never travelled thankfully!! I now down to an aspirin a day and stayin active. I avoid things that could active that cascade and do my best to advocate for testing before prescribing Birth Contol. We'll see what happens!! BTW, I've since run 4 half marathons with my 5th upcoming and lost track of the 5k and also do sprint tri's for fun!! Stop the clot!!
KaraP - Thank you so much for the comment. For sure one of the polka-dots will be to celebrate your story of survival. KEEP IT UP!!! What is the next race that you are doing? Very excited to hear that you are not letting blood clots slow you down. For sure get your polka-dots to spread the word far and wide. All the Best!!
