At least those are the words that hundreds of Long Islanders anxiously wait to hear as they take part in the 5th annual "Run for Rose" at Fire Island's Ocean Bay Park every year.
The run helps support the American Brain Tumor Association and raises money for brain tumor research, which some of you may unfortunately know, can take the life of someone you love all too quickly. I think my girlfriend and her family know this best.

Donald M. Cervantes, her grandfather, was relieved of his fight against a brain tumor over two years ago. I know how tough it was and still is for her family to deal with the loss of a wonderful father and grandfather from complications of a brain tumor - I couldn't imagine having to deal with it personally.
