ROCK 'N' ROLL FOR A CURE

Update - June 4th: I MADE IT!! THE RACE WAS AMAZING. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

Welcome Family and Friends!!

I am training to run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego, CA on June 1, 2008 as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. The goal of Team In Training is to increase funding to support the Society’s mission while promoting fitness and healthy life-styles. The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkin’s disease - and improve the lives of patients and their families.

My family is my inspiration!! My dad just wrapped up six months of chemotherapy and my in-laws are cancer survivors. Team In Training is one thing I can do to help fight these diseases. I race because I believe finding a cure for blood cancers may lead to cures for other cancers.

Most of us know someone who has battled cancer or is currently in the fight. This is an opportunity to do something about it!! I have made a personal pledge to raise $5,000. This is a hefty goal, but along with the training, I am ready for the challenge! Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and get us to the ultimate finish line...a cure!

All donations are 100% tax deductible!

If you would rather not donate on the internet, you can send a check written to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with my name in the memo to P.O. Box 531, Nassau, DE 19969. You can also reach me at jaimecolby@yahoo.com.

I hope you'll visit my website often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress in funds collected, and I'll let you know how the running is going as well.

Thanks for your support!
