Welcome to Our Inaugural EventThe RUN YOUR MILES Project Our Why:Is Dedicated in remembrance of Armand J. Kelley; a brother, father, son, uncle, cousin, friend... whom our family recently lost to colon cancer 2019. It was Armand who actually coined the phrase 'RUN YOUR MILES'. And since his leaving us, it's been his words that have aided and given purpose in this never ending process of healing. Many of us know all too well the indescribable pain in finding your way after a deep and profound loss. Not one day is promised nor one breath guaranteed; Each day is grace bestowed on our behalf and with it we are granted the opportunity to extend the same to others. RUN YOUR MILES... they are more than just 3 words, they are a lifeline; a way back to the living from what ever tragedy may have befall you... When you want to quit, when you want to give up or give in; when it seems there's no way out or no way in; RUN YOUR MILES. The RUN YOUR MILES Project recognizes the impact caring for a family member going thru a cancer diagnosis has on the whole family. The uncertainty, the emotional, physical, and psychological changes; and though the patient is diagnosed the whole family is affected. Caregivers especially family members have a double burden in sharing what can be a scary journey the challenge of their own fears about the future along with the responsibility of taking on the role of primary caregiver. Add to that is the stress and toll of the demand which can be exhausting. Professional organizations that provide care are equipped for the journey. Family members, unless this is their field of expertise find themselves thrown into a whole new world. There are a million moving pieces and little room for missteps along the way. It's only recently has the wellness of the patient included the wellness of the family member as a direct and intricate part of patient healing. Our Mission:The RUN YOUR MILES Project aim is to provide courageous families with the tools and information to support the best possible outcome for the whole family. Our Objective: The RUN YOUR MILES Project objective is to insure those who care for others have the care they need to provide the extra care at the time when it matters most. Our Vision:The RUN YOUR MILES Project supports Family Primary Care givers by securing changes in policy that will enable FPC protection: #1- FPC is recognized as vital part of the cancer patient wellness care #2- Develop certified program aligned with oncology protocol that will provide FPC with official and procedural cancer care training #3- Develop policy mandates approved by Insurance/Medicaid to cover FPC services By securing the ability for the Family Primary Caregiver to provide care and not worry about their own livelihood, we know we are insuring for the cancer patient the best environment to thrive. Care for those who selflessly Care❤ for others is an intricate part of the RUN YOUR MILES Project's mission . We Hope to See You There!
