Who knew I would be a runner?

I'm claiming this to be my one and only marathon since I don't have knees of steel (nor do I want them). Therefore, I am trying to make it meaningful and raising money for this worthy cause.

Thanks for your support whether it be via donation or just an encouraging email! ("Angela, you are crazy") Either way, I will need it because running 26.2 miles creates a lot of thinking time and who better to think of than all my friends and family!

In all honesty, training is turning out to be more difficult than I thought it would be and I know that this race is nothing in comparison to the battle against leukemia. If you want to come and watch me run in October, let me know!! Free housing :)

Oh! And what is the grand prize for donating the most you ask?... I'm donating my *dun dun dun* smelly-post-marathon-sneakers!! yay! ;) (Encouraging/Thought provoking comments with donations appreciated) Ok - here's the "standard" fundraising verbiage. Thanks! LOVE ANGELA!! :)

I am raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this marathon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - finding a cure!
