Out With a Bang!

Martin Berkofsky ended his "Celebrate Life Run and Concert Series" with a concert for the people that inspired his journey-cancer patients, families, doctors and hospital staff. These cancer fighters are the very reason he decided to make a difference by running 880 miles from Tulsa, OK to Zion, IL to raise funds for Cancer Treatment Research Foundation and awareness for Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

A standing room only crowd watched in amazement as Martin performed works from Chopin, Schubert and Liszt, with another compelling encore of John Phillip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever."

It was a befitting end to a miraculous journey that represents an undying spirit to make an impact in the world of cancer research, spread a word of hope to patients and their families, and make a difference for all of humanity. Martin has inspired nearly everyone he has met; runners, musicians, cancer patients, ham radio operators and the staff of CTCA and CTRF.

A wonderful concert. A wonderful man. A wonderful journey. Thank you Martin!

A big thanks goes to the staff at Midwestern Regional Medical Center for their coordination of yesterday's event. Thank you for all of your help!
