ORLANDO, Fla. - Duquesne head lacrosse coach Michael Scerbo is in Orlando ready to run in the Disney World Marathon on Sunday, Jan. 10. Scerbo is raising money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. The LLS is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services.

In August 2008, former Dukes attacker Caroline (Gallagher) Cranston was diagnosed with Leukemia. In her honor, Coach Scerbo pledged to raise $5,000 to help with patient services and research.

"I am so honored and excited to be running the Disney Marathon for Caroline Gallagher Cranston," said Scerbo. "The support I have received from her, her family and friends, Duquesne University, and the entire Duquesne Lacrosse community has been tremendous.

Scerbo has already exceeded his goal with help from former teammates, Duquesne staff, friends and family of Caroline.

"I was able to raise over $5,600 toward blood related cancer research, well above the goal I set at the beginning of this adventure. I want to thank everyone for your help and support."
