Please join us on this special evening for, “Race Towards A Cure” - Marine Corps Marathon and help raise funds and awareness for brain cancer research projects and collaborations sponsored by Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. With your support, we will advance the research that will soon find the cure. In 2005, BethAnn Telford, was diagnosed with brain cancer. She had surgery later that year and was determined not to allow cancer to limit what she could do in the future. She has run at least one marathon each year since her diagnoses and last year, she conquered the world famous Kona Ironman Triatholon, which includes a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile marathon. She finished the race in 15 hours, 13 minutes and 42 seconds. She will be running this year’s Marine Corp Marathon again; her 12th in a row. She has inspired thousands by her tireless fight to raise money for brain cancer research and has focused her time and effort on helping children afflicted with brain cancer. Her best friend, 7 year old, Anya Zvorsky, is also from her hometown and fights along with BethAnn to find a cure for this horrible disease. Please know that 100% of ALL PROCEEDS will go towards this cause, so each and every contribution, big or small, will be appreciated. We are so excited to be a part of this and look forward to seeing you soon!

Thank you for visiting TeamBT's website!In the winter of 2005, I was diagnosed with brain cancer. I was scared and thought my life would never be the same again. I had my first surgery in the spring of that year and was determined to not let my illness limit what I could do in the future. I would fight to regain my abilities and to push my boundaries, if only to say I am still here and fighting. Having run several marathons before my diagnosis, I slowly learned to walk and run again and was able to complete the Marine Corp Marathon six months later in the fall. Over the last three years, I had the wonderful opportunity to run the Boston Marathon and was able to re-qualify (and set a PR) for Boston in my Father's hometown of Scranton, PA at the Steamtown Marathon this fall and have registered for the Boston Marathon in 2012. Though qualifying for and running the Boston Marathon has been extremely difficult and trying, the sense of accomplishment and expanding my boundaries was helped by the confidence I gained when I finished my first Eagleman 70.3 triathlon and the Lake Placid Ironman.
This year, I realized a life-long dream by winning an opportunity to compete in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. It was an amazing experience that I was able to share with my family and friends as I crossed the finish line with a flag of "hope" with the names of the many children I have met afflicted with brain cancer written across the front. To read more about my experience on the "Ironman World Championship" tab.
BethAnn Telford, Survivor
