Lifestyle home furnishings vendor Four Hands' Chairman Brett Hatton will run his first marathon in the Livestrong Foundation fundraising race in Austin, Texas.
"This year I'm participating with Team Livestrong and a Four Hands team of about 20 employees," Hatton wrote in an e-mail. "Livestrong seeks to inspire and empower people affected by cancer, and with Team Livestrong I'm picking a fight with cancer and uniting with others who are interested in making cancer a global priority."
Hatton is dedicating his run to his "youngest aunt, who died two years ago after a long and painful battle, and to his friend and guide Phil Gable, who passed last year. Both of these people had a big influence on my life and it is my wish to honor their legacy."
The marathon is set for Feb. 20. Four Hands hopes to raise $10,000 for the fight against cancer with the Livestrong Foundation; and will match your contributions up to $2,500.
