The Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) is proud to announce that we have been designated a Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) Charity Partner! BCAN has been allocated 25 guaranteed entries for the 38th Annual Marine Corps Marathon to be held on October 27, 2013; an event that sold out in 2 hours and 41 minutes in 2012. We are looking at building “Team BCAN” to not only run in the event and raise awareness for bladder cancer but to raise needed funds for fostering research and patient education. According to the Marine Corps Marathon, there is not a required qualifying time to participate in the event, but all runners should maintain at least a 14 minute mile pace. In order to become a member of “Team BCAN” and officially have a slot in this year’s race, you must be registered through BCAN. No federal or Marine Corps endorsement is implied. If you are interested in becoming a member of BCAN’s team or have any questions, please contact Larry Rzepka, BCAN’s Executive Director, at lrzepka@bcan.org.	Bladder cancer survivor Cindy Duffy (fourth from the left) rings in the New Year by organizing and participating in the Bloomington Polar Bear Plunge (Indiana). The event is also a fundraiser for BCAN, with the 2013 event bringing in $1,205 from donations and t-shirt sales. Cindy began the event in 2005 as a way to start a fresh new year after being diagnosed with bladder cancer. What started as three women racing into the cold water on New Year’s Day has grown to over 200 participants and spectators. Cindy’s daughter, Amy, (third from the left) continues the family tradition of supporting BCAN by organizing an annual walk for bladder cancer in the Greater Chicago Metro area. In 2012 almost 100 people took part in Amy’s walk and over $5500 was raised for BCAN’s education and research programs.
