Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I’m training to complete an Olympic-distance triathlon, which will include a 1-mile swim, 24-mile bike ride and 6-mile run in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this endurance event in honor of all individuals who are currently battling blood cancers as well as all those who have gone before me. We need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

You may wonder why I’m doing all this. I wondered too, but only for a little while. While doing another triathlon, I saw a woman who had to be helped into the water because she was missing her left leg, lost due to cancer. The crowd cheered wildly as she passed her crutches off to a helper. I have never forgotten that sight and would like to do whatever I can to insure it doesn’t have to happen to another person.

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.

I hope you'll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
