[DetermiNation Blog](http://determinators.org/2012/02/running-for-more-birthdays/)

One of the most rewarding things about blogging for me has been having the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others by supporting causes that are near and dear to my heart. As a member of the American Cancer Society (ACS) Blogger Advisory Council for the past 2.5 years, I’ve been able to lend my voice to support the movement for More Birthdays – to celebrate those individuals that survived cancer, those that lost the battle and work for a world with less cancer and More Birthdays.

During my time with the ACS BAC, I had the opportunity to meet a woman that defined the word [DetermiNation](http://determination.acsevents.org/site/PageServer?pagename=DN_FY11_home) - Susan Nieber.

[Susan Niebur](http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com/)[ ](http://toddlerplanet.wordpress.com/)was also a member of BAC and shared her experience living and fighting IBS cancer on her blog Toddler Planet. When I met Susan in New York on a BAC trip I knew this woman was a force to be reckoned with. A mother of two small children, a rocket scientist, an advocate and a fighter. Susan was kicking cancer’s ass!The last time I saw her was in October at the Blogalicious conference. We were there with ACS celebrating birthdays and she gave a speech that was amazing, beautiful and I sincerely doubt there was a dry eye in the house. All of this and she had JUST returned from a treatment. Truly an inspiration! And I’ve decided to run the New Orleans Rock n Roll 1/2 marathon in her honor!
