Candice Lanzoni
PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER
π Why Miles for Moms? π
βI started Miles for Moms to help financially support my mom while she fighting breast cancer for a second time and I was abroad in Hong Kong. Over the past few years the event has grown larger across the world and allowed us to run more and more Miles for Moms.β
π Who do you run for? π
βI run to support those who are fighting breast cancer, who have survived breast cancer, and their loved ones. One of the goals of Miles for Moms is to help relieve the financial burden of breast cancer. Those battling breast cancer should not need to worry about the associated costs that insurance may not cover when they pursue the best care possible.β -

VICE PRESIDENT
π Why Miles for Moms? π
βWhen my family member was fighting breast cancer it wasnβt just the medical bills, it was the hidden costs of caretaking and meals, transportation, schedules, etc that added up. Coming together as a community to help buffer those things for people fighting can have a huge impact on them and their support system. When Candice started Miles for Moms as a virtual event, it was an amazing way for friends and family in different places to share miles virtually and support a shared community.β
π Who do you run for? π
βI run in memory of Nanny. I run for those who are fighting, for those who will one day have to fight, and for the families and friends who are taking on the fight with them. I run so that when they need it, people know that they have community support to call on.β -

π Who do you run for? π

SECRETARY
π Why Miles for Moms? π
βI have been excited to run this race since I stepped off the course last year. Being able to run at such a beautiful location while raising money for such a great cause is unbeatable. The team does an incredible job putting on such a well thought out event from the pre-race fuels to the beautifully hand crafted medals!β
π Who do you run for? π
βRunning is more than just a form of exercise. For me, it is a way to give back. I have been involved in many charity races as a way to raise awareness and support for such important causes. We all know someone who has been affected by breast cancer so this is an organization that I will continue to support year after year!β
