Thanks for supporting Dave as he again ran the grueling Badwater 135 ultra marathon to support the Hope Chest For Women. They are an organization committed to providing limited financial assistance for Western North Carolina women diagnosed with breast or gynecologic cancer and who are experiencing economic difficulties due to treatment cost. Dave also ran to honor  his sister Teresa. The Badwater is toughest footrace on the planet. The race is held in July at Death Valley where temperatures can reach 130 degrees. Only 90 are invited from around the world. Dave finished 15th overall in 2006 and 10th in 2008. For more on Dave's training and the race itself, please see an article published on May 5th from the Hendersonville Times-News: Horner running third Badwater race for his sister

In Dec. of 2004, Teresa was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer resulting in invasive surgery and months of chemo-therapy treatments. Teresa is currently cancer free and doing well. Ovarian cancer has historically received much less attention than other diseases and has often been misdiagnosed. Please help raise awareness to benefit The HOPE CHEST for WOMEN and to honor Teresa as she lives with this disease.
