47-year-old Richard Harris is planning for the longest martial arts training session of his life. The Bruno Tostes Jiu Jitsu brown belt is planning to do a 24-hour training session from 8 a.m. Nov. 21 to 8 a.m. Nov 22 at Renzo Gracie Latham in New York to raise awareness and fundraise to choke out cancer.<\/p>\n

The \u201c24-hour Roll-A-Thon\u201d will have Harris do continuous training with various training partners in efforts to raise funds for New York Oncology Hematology\u2019s Community Cancer Foundation, which helps Capital District families with some financial support that have a loved one battling cancer.<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 crowdfunding page<\/a> says:<\/p>\n

In November 2014, Laurie Harris, Rich\u2019s wife and mother of three, was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer of the bone marrow. From December 2014 – July 2015, Laurie underwent intense chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant to help \u201ctap out\u201d the cancer. With Laurie’s cancer now in remission, but knowing it will be a lifelong fight, Rich wants to honor Laurie’s fight and honor his father, Richard, who lost his battle with Multiple Myeloma in 2009, while helping other families meet the tough financial demands of having a loved one fighting cancer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the Saratogian<\/a>, Harris got the idea from watching club competitions in England and other parts of the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea of martial arts clubs competing against each other during a 24-hour period to see how many funds they can raise is popular in other places but it hasn\u2019t made an appearance here,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe this will start it off. I\u2019d love to see one of these held annually in a big gym somewhere with a bunch of club\u2019s involved. I\u2019d like to see it evolve so it\u2019s much bigger than me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harris hopes to raise $3,000, with nearly $2,000 already raised through social media.<\/p>\n
