Kara Goodwin
Welcome to my fundraising page! I’m taking on the 2025 TCS London Marathon with Fred’s Team, the official running program of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). On May 22nd, 2024, I became a patient at MSK, and on June 3rd, 2024, I was diagnosed with stage IV EGFR lung cancer. As a non-smoker, avid runner and otherwise healthy young woman with no family history of cancer, this diagnosis was quite shocking. Despite my diagnosis, thanks to the extraordinary care I am receiving at MSK and by the grace of God, I've been able to maintain exceptional quality of life and continue to pursue my passion for running.
My goal is to raise as much as I can to support groundbreaking EGFR lung cancer research at MSK, and your donation will not only keep me alive hopefully for years to come, but it will also give me a boost as I continue to fight and run my way to a cure!
100% of Your Donation Supports EGFR Lung Cancer Research
Named in honor of New York City Marathon co-founder and MSK patient Fred Lebow, Fred’s Team brings together passionate runners and supporters to lead the way to fight against cancer. 100% of the funds I raise will go directly to my lung oncologist, Dr. Helena Yu’s EGFR lung cancer research labs at MSK, which she and her team will use to fund their continued research for treatment and to find a cure for EGFR lung cancer. Your donation is also 100% tax deductible.
Donate Today!
Together, we can make a big difference! Your donation and support means so much to me!
Thank you for your generosity!
