Lions fan raises money for 'Game on Cancer' with ultramarathon run

I pictured like a little ribbon in my family, so to walk around the corner, see a full band, everybody clapping, saying my name, cheering me on, it was amazing. An ultra marathon runner who's also a big Lions fan wraps up an incredible journey for a very important cause. Cody DiLorenzo arriving in downtown Detroit today. Earlier this week, he started running from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. That's about 500 miles, quote The Proclaimers song there if you know that one at the finish line a big cheering section and a hefty check for his cause he's brought in about 75,000 to help raise awareness for early cancer detection tomorrow he'll deliver the game ball as the Lions get ready to play the Packers it's amazing amount of money that's been raised is directly going to go back to our patients whether it's through funds to help pay for supportive services to pay utility bills to pay for massage therapy and it will go towards patient directed research so we're super just honored and humbled that someone would raise awareness over 313 miles for Henry Ford Health Game On Cancer I want people to donate I'm obviously we promoted Game On Cancer all week so what they do to help other families during medical crisis but I wanted to promote early detection is very important to listen to your body even though I didn't listen to my body at all this week listen to your body go get checked out and then you can do hard things and you can fight and you can get to the finish line well he says he's sore certainly we can imagine that but he's grateful Cody's wife Shannon was diagnosed with stage two cancer the family says her life was saved thanks to early detection the money raised with go will go to cancer research at Henry Ford Health
