About us:

Team CMMD started as a few ordinary people hoping to raise a few dollars for the American Cancer Society. We were virtual strangers whose only acquaintance was through Dr. Christine Meyer’s facebook page. Most of us did not consider ourselves runners. Some of us had never run before. Our common thread was a cancer story and a desire to complete Philadelphia’s ten mile Broad Street Run.

In our first season, we grew to 47 runners who raised $65,000 for the American Cancer Society. We formed friendships. We accomplished goals. We felt like we’d made a difference, and we didn’t want it to end. In the revelry of her post-race high, team captain, Christine Meyer, MD, proclaimed her goal for Team CMMD 2014: 100 runners, $100,000.

January 1, 2014 started our second season. A few weeks later, Christine expected a handful of people at the kickoff meeting. 65 showed up. In the four months leading up to our second Broad Street race, even more friendships were born and solidified. Strangers at the beginning, we shared victories and heartbreaks. We encouraged and supported each other through hard times. We ran through ice, snow and extremely low temperatures of the winter. And we learned that when we combine our desire to help with our individual skills, we can make a bigger difference than we ever thought possible. Even the lofty goal of $100,000 was blown out of the water. In just four months, we raised more than $174,000.

A large part of our contributions will continue to go to the American Cancer Society (in two seasons, we have donated more than $240,000), but we want to make a difference in our own community as well. Through various fundraising and racing events, we will raise funds to help local cancer victims and their families with transportation, meals, and other support as determined by our Board.
