A year later I was declared Cancer Free. In order to celebrate my full recovery, I decided to participate in several races to include the Paris Marathon, Berlin Marathon, and Antwerp Ironman 70.3 Triathlon and raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>My fundraising efforts began with a goal of $1000 for my run in Paris. Thanks to the generosity of my friends and family, I was able to meet that goal. The race went well and I continued to raise money, reaching over $1600 by the end of my &#8220;Remission Euro Tour 2010.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy alignleft size-full wp-image-4918\" title=\"Bryan - Weinstra\u00dfe Halb marathon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/plugins\/jquery-image-lazy-loading\/images\/grey.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Bryan_running.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"331\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Bryan_running.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Bryan_running-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4918\" title=\"Bryan - Weinstra\u00dfe Halb marathon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Bryan_running.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"331\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Bryan_running.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.supportinglivestrong.nl\/supportinglivestrong\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Bryan_running-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><strong>Final list of events for 2010<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.parismarathon.com\/index_us.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Paris Marathon<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nDeutsche Weinstra\u00dfe Halb marathon<br \/>\nMetz Triathlon<br \/>\nBonn Triathlon<br \/>\nBaumholder Triathlon<br \/>\nAntwerp Ironman 70.3 Triathlon<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saarschleife-marathon.de\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Saarschleife-Halb marathon<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nRhein-Ahr-Triathlon<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Berlin Marathon<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For 2011, I was selected to join Team LIVESTRONG in the London Marathon.
