About Me

RNboogie: I'm not a runner. I don't run unless I'm chased. As a leap of faith, something brought me to a meeting on July 24th to sign up for Honolulu's Full Marathon in December . My adorable, beautiful Godson Jaden was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia) at the young age of 9 1/2 months. After a long battle with the disease, Jaden joined the angels in 2007 at the age of 2. He is my inspiration. He is what inspired me to become an Oncology nurse, which I did during my first year out of nursing school. Now I am a OB RN and I know Jaden guides me through trying nights on shift. Grace & Jesus Fortu (Jaden's mommy and daddy) continue to be my inspiration. We've done Light the Night Walks with Jaden as our honoree with my crazy, loving Calderon family, but this time I wanted to do something 'greater than me.' So now I'm training to participate in my very first endurance event. A 26 mile run that I am completing in honor Jaden, Gianna (big sis), Grace, and Jesus Fortu and all of the those touched with these diseases. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
