This will be Brian's third time running since his father's diagnosis, according to Wicked Local.

“Along with my husband, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and mother-in-law, we have taken this disease on as a family unit,” Lindsay told Wicked Local. “When Mark was diagnosed three years ago, we didn’t ask for pity, or sit back. We took control and decided to fight. Since that time, we have raised over $150,000 in funds directly from our Marathon fundraisers for cancer research. And we will continue to run until there is a cure.”
