Welcome to my Maryland Half Marathon Page! My name is Tanya Velilla, and I am participating in the Maryland Half Marathon on June 1, 2024, to raise money for the fight against cancer. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2023 and am currently cancer free. My fight is not over as I am currently scheduled for my first reconstructive surgery in March, and my hope is that half the battle will be over. The support of all my friends and family has made a tremendous difference in my recovery and keeping my spirits high.100% of every dollar I raise goes directly to the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) to support cutting-edge care and groundbreaking research. As a National Cancer Institute, UMGCCC ranks among the top cancer centers in the country. They combine compassionate care with the most advanced treatment options available. I hope you'll consider making a donation to fund their amazing work. Your support helps provide lifesaving treatment to patients and funds research that benefits cancer patients everywhere. Make a contribution today. Together, we can move the fight against cancer forward!
