John's Pledge

Team BSNCF was inspired by BSNCF Co-Founder, John Searing.  Growing up as an athlete, John played football at Rutgers and JMU.  After Jenny’s death, John frequently turned to running and fitness to free his mind and relieve stress.  John ran his first marathon in 2005 and used races as an initial vehicle to raise funds for the Foundation.  He found that running and raising funds in Jenny’s honor to help others was often the extra push he needed to cross the finish line of his race.

In 2016, John qualified and represented BSNCF at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. It gave him the opportunity to visit Australia, a place that was special to his sister Jenny, creating memories and inspiring new BSNCF initiatives. Leading the way with inspiration John's pledge is to run each mile to honor the fight of the cancer warriors we support at BSNCF.    What is your pledge?

Be Part of Our Team

Team BSNCF is a community of athletic minded supporters, friends and family of all ages. Together, we heighten awareness, fundraise and represent the Foundation while engaging in the physical activity of our own choosing. Funds raised through Team BSNCF enable our mission and create a platform for team members to make a pledge to do something epic in a person's honor through fitness. Your goal could be running a 5k for the first time in a tutu. It could be learning to dive in an adventurous place. Maybe your goal is to lose weight and to make this your healthiest year yet. Whatever it is, we are here to help.

Team BSNCF gives loved ones an opportunity to set a goal and exercise for those who can't. We are sisters, brothers, moms, dads, friends joining in the fight against cancer one step at a time.   Join our team and let's connect!
