Our very own Bill Shrieves completed the Marine Corps Marathon this past weekend. His time was 5 hours and 13 minutes, which placed him 13th out of 76 in the 70-74 age group.
“When I decided to run this race, I thought I was doing it to prove something to myself and to raise money to fight pancreatic cancer, says Bill Shrieves President of the Mid-Shore Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, Inc. Five hours is a lot of time to think and I came to realize I was running to provide hope for anyone diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Almost six years ago, a doctor told me to get my affairs in order because I probably would be dead in less than a year. Six years later I completed a marathon. In your personal and professional life, never let anyone else tell you what is going to happen. You are in control of your own destiny. Never give up hope.”
Congrats to Bill and thanks for all your hard work raising awareness and hope for those with Pancreatic Cancer and their families.
