On May 1st, 2011, my cousin Tyler ended his life.

He was a passionate lover - he loved food, skydiving, people, and he loved to run.
To honor my cousin, I am going to run in the 2012 Flying Pig Marathon, one year after his death,
to raise suicide awareness and something I call love awareness.

This is where I will record the journey.
I also hope that this blog will be a resource to anyone
in a similar situation to help them along.

Rest in peace, Tyler. I love you.
