Laurie Halse Anderson's Team In Training Page

A Writer Races to Save Lives

Laurie Halse Anderson & her husband, Scot Larrabee, at the end of a race; happy, tired, and a little stinky.

I'm training to run the Lake Placid Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in June with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. My run is in honor of my cousin, Darcy Skinner, who is battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma right now.

I need your help. Please donate on this page to support my race. Ask your friends, co-workers, and classmates to join me, too. You can donate as a class, a writer's group, a book club, or a family.

Books are written one page at a time, races are run one step at a time, and the cure for cancer is funded one dollar at a time. No pledge is too small. You can learn more about the fight against the blood cancers at: http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls

Follow my running progress on my blog: http://halseanderson.livejournal.com/. Check back here to watch the fundraising total climb to the sky.

I am very grateful for your support. Thank you so much!

P.S. Keep writing, keep reading, keep running...
