I remember vividly the first time I met Jeff Thomas: we were tour guides for the Office of Admissions at Purdue. And over the course of 7 years - with many starts and stops! - we got married and welcomed Jake and Kate into the world. Jeff was diagnosed with ICC in April 2018 and died that December. It’s been almost three years since then. I don’t wake up anymore, expecting him to be in bed next to me. I’ve adjusted to making my own coffee and emptying the dishwasher… some of Jeff’s household chores. Jake and Kate remember him from our stories and pictures. I will always miss Jeff. It was a pretty amazing life. Jake was 4 and Kate was 2 when Jeff died. Now, Jake is 7 and Kate is 5. They both ride the bus to school (how did they get so old?!) and have their own friends, interests, and pet peeves. The three of us have movie night on Fridays and brinner at least once a week. I’m running the Chicago Marathon for Team CCF because they are my people now. I volunteer as a mentor to five other caregivers watching their loved one go through what Jeff went through. And, of course, I have found Mike, who also knows like nobody else in my life what it is like to watch a spouse you love be consumed by this disease. Our kids talk about how their mom or dad died from this cancer. And Mike and I talk about Jeff and Catherine with each other, and our kids, and our friends, because their lives ended before any of us wanted them to… but also because their love continues to give gifts to those of us still living. Mike and I are incredibly blessed: this life is pretty amazing, too.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. This is something that I hold close to my heart and I am so happy that I can share it with you all! First of all, let me tell you WHY I am running 26.2 miles: I lost my beautiful mom, Mary, on Christmas Eve of 2018. It was sudden and it was devastating. I decided that I needed to do something to bring awareness to this terrible cancer that took her away from us way too soon. So, I have decided to run my first "real" marathon in her honor while raising much needed money for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. This cancer is so rare and so sudden that my mom sadly passed away 3 weeks after diagnosis. She fought so hard those 3 weeks but she had no fighting chance. My once healthy and spunky mom was taken from us so quickly. We barely had time to even process what was happening. It was an experience I hope that no one else has to ever go through. With this being said, running has truly saved my life. It has helped me find a purpose in life without my mom and my best friend. It has also helped me fight for her. As I raise money and prepare for this run, I hope that I am able to inspire others. I hope that everyone can find a way to move forward after an unimaginable loss. Here's to moving forward and finding happiness despite terrible tragedy. I hope that you are all able to follow my journey and I am able to bring hope to others. Now, let me tell you about my amazing mom. She was an incredible woman and when she was taken from us the world lost a beautiful soul. She was the one person who knew me better than I knew myself and the person that I could call when I just didn’t know what to do. She was the person that was not only in my circle, but always in my corner. She was the person that ALWAYS asked me to text her when I made it home safely. She was the one person that cared about every single little detail of everyone's lives because every person in her life was that important to her. She was one of the only people who truly got me and never judged me. The day that my mom died she took part of me with her. My mom’s smile could light up a room in a second. She was one of those people that you wanted at every gathering because you knew she would be the life of the party. She loved life so much and she truly lived each day to the fullest. I would do anything to hear her voice one more time or just give her one more hug. I will never understand why she was taken from us so soon, but I do believe that there was a reason. I know she is still within all of us and she is helping us make it through this crazy world. SO many people were touched by my mom's presence and I know that even though she is no longer with us she will continue to touch our lives in remarkable ways. I never want her to be forgotten and I hope to always keep her amazing memory alive. If you are ever having a tough day just take a moment to think about my mom. She would never let a bad day get to her and she always saw the positive in all situations. So together we can honor this incredible woman by supporting this amazing foundation and donating in her name. We must work together so that no other family goes through this heartbreak. In October of 2020 I ran the virtual marathon down the lakefront of Chicago. It was tough but such an amazing experience. I am so excited to run the marathon again with the crowds and energy of the city. The Chicago Marathon seems like just a dream that I never thought I would be a part of. Chicago has become my home the past 10 years and it is a city that I hold close to my heart. I can't wait to represent such an amazing foundation as I run through this beautiful city. Together we will come together wearing green and running for those we have lost and those still fighting. Can't wait to see you all in Chicago! Lastly, as my mom said numerous times during those final days, “We’ve got this guys!”, and don't worry mom I've got this and I will not let you down. Together we will fight for you and we will continue to keep your memory alive! We all miss you and we love you so much! Nothing will stop me from honoring you on this special day! Here we go!!! #ALLFORMAR

Hello Family and Friends! Welcome to my TeamCCF fundraising homepage. I'll be running the Chicago Marathon in October to raise awareness and funding for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, and in memory of my best friend Erik Mazmanian who passed away from this terrible disease in 2019. TeamCCF began in 2016 as a way to raise money through athletic events for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CCF) is the only non-profit organization in North America exclusively dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected by cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). It's a rare but deadly cancer that has very little name recognition or awareness. Due to this lack of visibility, it is often overlooked as symptoms can mimic those of other illnesses and diagnosis comes too late. Conventional cancer treatments remain ineffective against cholangiocarcinoma, and most people diagnosed with advanced disease have less than a 5% chance of surviving at least five years. As I train for the marathon, I'll periodically be using the hashtag #RunForMaz on Instagram and Facebook. I encourage you to do the same anytime you're out for a run or just a casual walk, and I will plan to put an album together in the fall with photos I can gather with the hashtag. We all miss Erik so much and think about him every day, and I'm hopeful that through our collective efforts we can save more people from this disease. Thank you in advance for your generosity, and please share this link with anyone you know who might be interested. Sending lots of love and deep appreciation to all of you. Nicky

Hi everyone. As many of you know, I lost my beloved dad, Cym Lowell, to cholangiocarcinoma this past February. He was a lifelong runner and shared that passion with his three children. We ran races together, including the yearly Turkey Trot in Dallas, and he supported me at races throughout adulthood, including Marine Corps and the rainy Boston Marathon in 2018. We talked about me running the Chicago Marathon for this foundation who supported him before he passed away. Unfortunately, the 2020 race was canceled, so I was not able to run it while he was alive. Nonetheless, I will be running this October in his honor and hope to raise awareness for this deadly cancer. TeamCCF began in 2016 as a way to raise money through athletic events for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. Through the years, TeamCCF has participated in numerous races such as the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon, the Denver/Colfax Marathon and the Philadelphia Half Marathon. The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation (CCF) is the only non-profit organization in North America exclusively dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected by cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). Approximately 10,000 people in the United States are diagnosed each year with this hard-to-diagnose, difficult-to-treat, fatal type of cancer. Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare but deadly cancer that has very little name recognition or awareness. Due to this lack of visibility, it is often overlooked as symptoms can mimic those of other illnesses and diagnosis comes too late. Conventional cancer treatments remain ineffective against cholangiocarcinoma, and most people diagnosed with advanced disease have less than a 5% chance of surviving at least five years. While almost 2 out of 3 people with bile duct cancer are 65 or older, people of nearly any age can be diagnosed. There has been an alarming increase in the past decade of young individuals being diagnosed in their 20’s, 30’s or 40’s.

Friends & Family! This October WE (Sarah Whitten Pomponi and Bella Vonachen) are running the Chicago Marathon. We are running in honor of Sarah's Dad and Bella's Uncle, Tom Whitten. We both fell in love with running when we moved to the city after graduating college - so why not unite together and run for a meaningful cause! Tom lost his courageous battle to Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer) in 2008. He was an incredible son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and leader who always knew how to make you smile. If Tom wasn’t selling you a new car or helping you fix your current car, he was either coaching his kids sporting events, working in the yard, planning the next family ski trip, or hosting the best cook-out in town, with no mustard in site (Tom did not approve of mustard stains)... It is hard to believe that 13 years have gone by without Tom present on this Earth. His energy, love and contagious laugh is missed daily BUT his legacy is left behind with his wife, 3 sons, 1 daughter and 12 beautiful grandchildren. The LOVE is strong! Cholangiocarcinoma took Tom’s life far too early. This is a rare cancer that afflicts less than 10,000 people in the United States every year and today, there is no known cure. Existing treatment protocols include chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and in some cases a combination of all three. Every day ongoing research is leading to the development of new therapies and more clinical trials. We ask: Your charitable support to this cause by donating to help raise funds in the hope of finding a cure for this insidious disease. Your donation, no matter how small or large WILL make a difference! It may save the life of someone you love one day. Dad/Uncle Tom - We know YOU would be here cheering us on IF heaven weren't so far away!! In Tom's words: "Charge forward with TRUST and OPTIMISM" Let's Go! xoxo Sarah & Bella

Hello! Some of you know that my wife was diagnosed with a rare cancer last year. I still remember December 12th, 2019 like it was yesterday, because a lot of times, it still feels like yesterday. The day started off getting up super early to get to the hospital for a routine surgery.( It was the second time we had made this trip! First time we found out Mandy was pregnant, and we couldn’t have the surgery!) After getting checked in and getting into the back prep area, they finally asked Mandy’s mom and me to go back to the waiting room. Sitting there I watched the screen until I finally see Mandy’s number go from red to blue, meaning she was in surgery. Within 5 minutes my phone rings, and it was the nurse asking us to go to a different room because the doctor wanted to speak with us. That’s never good, and I knew it. I remember him telling us that it was definitely cancer, and he didn’t need to wait for the results of the pathology. I had every emotion I could possibly have all at once. I was so scared for my wife and my unborn baby. I was scared for my little girl Luna, and I was worried for my mother in law who just got told her baby girl has cancer. After getting out of the hospital and knowing my wife had some fighting to do, not only for her but for our little girl we would name Lily and for our Luna, I decided to do everything I can to bring awareness to this cancer and to be as strong as I could for my family. I decided to run the Chicago marathon and raise money and awareness for cholangiocarcinoma foundation. Please help me support the great cause and keep my wife around for my girls! Thank you!

Samantha Pear

My name is Samantha Pear, and I am the daughter of Jonathan Pear. In 2020 my dad was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma, and we have been on a difficult, yet empowering journey ever since. Through scans, tests, and treatments I stood by my dads side where he showed me, first hand, what it means to be strong and courageous. Throughout the past year, my dad has instilled life lessons, values, and jokes that will live on through me, for a very long time. My dad once told me that he couldn't be anymore proud of me, even if he tried, but like any daddy's girl, I work each day to prove him wrong and make him even more proud. On February 3, 2021, my dad and hero passed away. Shortly after, I decided I was going to find a way to honor him and make him more proud than ever; so I decided to run a marathon. You may be thinking that this is so sweet because my dad is likely a runner, but that is not the case, my dad, alongside my mom and brother, have simply always been the ones who have made me believe I can do absolutely anything I set out to accomplish. So on October 10, 2021, I plan to do just that, and continue to make my dad, and the rest of my family proud.

I'm running the Chicago Marathon! All donations go directly to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation in honor of my dad. March 09, 2021 marks one year since my dad’s diagnosis. I remember getting the phone call, falling to the bathroom floor in disbelief, knowing that my life was forever changed, and having absolutely no idea just how much. We barely had any time to process before jumping right into surgery, treatments, therapies, you name it. Throughout it all, his strength and humility never wavered. He fought for my mom and I, for 8 of the shortest and longest months of my life. During that time, I started running as a way to literally and figuratively escape. This year, I’m turning it into a way to find purpose in my life without my dad. Honoring his life by pursuing one for myself that embraces hardship and turns it into beautiful connection.

Greetings All! Thank you for visiting my TeamCCF fundraising page. I am training to run the 2021 Chicago Marathon--following the understandable cancellation of the 2020 race due to the COVID-19 pandemic--after first planning to run this race for TeamCCF in 2020. Last year, my effort was devoted to honoring a college friend, Catherine "Cat" (Gehred) Griffin, who was battling this rare cancer. Unfortunately, on the very same day that the 2020 race was cancelled, God called Cat home as well, July 13, 2020. Cat is survived by her loving husband and three young children. Cat and I were classmates in college and good friends during our senior year as fellow Resident Assistants in dorms next door to one another. My group of Morrissey Manor RA friends spent a considerable amount of time hanging out with Cat and her fellow Lyons RA friends. Therefore, this year, I am training to run Chicago in 2021 in Cat's memory.

I am sincerely grateful to those who supported my fundraising efforts in 2020, before last year's race was cancelled. And I am equally grateful for those who choose to support my 2021 training. Cat leaves behind a loving husband and three young children, all under 10. Any amount that you can contribute is beyond appreciated, and no amount is to small. As I log each mile in training, and during the race on October 10, I offer my prayers of thanksgiving for Cat's friendship and spirit, and for peace and comfort to those she's left behind. Thank you for your generosity! Dan Tardiff

On October 10th, I will be participating in the Chicago Marathon, running in my first marathon. I have chosen to run for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. In February 2020, my mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cholangiocarcinoma - a rare form of cancer in the bile duct. As it's a rare disease with few cases diagnosed annually, it's important to fund research and the search for a cure. On Easter Sunday 2020, my mom lost her battle to the cancer. I want to do my best to raise money for this foundation to further research and complete their mission to find a cure. Please contribute to our cause. Any amount would be great. THANK YOU for your contribution and support.

This October I’m running the Chicago Marathon with the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation—an organization that has become near and dear to me. Exactly two years ago my close friend Erik Mazmanian passed away tragically at the age of 38 from Cholangiocarcinoma, and partnering with the foundation has given me a way to honor Erik and support an organization to fight this deadly cancer and support those battling it. The Foundation is the only non-profit in North America dedicated exclusively to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for those affected by this awful disease. Sadly, most people diagnosed with this cancer have less than a 5% chance of surviving at least five years. Following a nearly two-year bout, including a liver transplant, Erik passed with his family by his side. I miss him tremendously.To help me reach my goal of supporting the Foundation, I would greatly appreciate any contribution you can make alongside me and TeamCCF. I’ve committed to raising $1,500. While I’ve run marathons before, this one takes on special meaning given the cause and the fact it will be in Erik’s adopted hometown of Chicago. Thanks for your support and for continuing to cheer me on. Erik was a truly wonderful person, and if we can do anything to help avoid future outcomes like his, I’d like to try.Gabe

There has been an alarming increase in the past decade of young individuals diagnosed in their 20's, 30's or 40's. My connection to CCF began over six years ago when I started working as their travel agent for their annual conference. Working with the CCF staff and getting to know the patient's and hearing them tell their stories has forever impacted my life. Time and time again, I heard how thankful patients were for the foundation and how valuable their resources were to them. How after being given this diagnosis, they were without hope until they connected with the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. I am beyond thrilled to now be a part of the CCF team as their Program and Operations Coordinator. The work that CCF is doing is genuinely making a difference in the lives of those affected by cholangiocarcinoma. I am running the Chicago Marathon to bring awareness to this deadly cancer, and every dollar donated will go directly to advancing research, patient support, and patient education. I believe that with your support, there is hope for a cure!! Thank you for your donation.
