Kate's Team In Training Page
working toward a common goal......helping others
Hi and welcome! I am training to participate in a 100 mile bike ride as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. With your help, we are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. This year I am riding in honor of my two Patient Heroes, my brother John and 10 year old Zack. My brother and only sibling John was diagnosed in 2003 with Cutaneous Lymphoma and has been udergoing chemo treatments since that time. Zack was diagnosed at age 3 1/2 with ALL-Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. He has been through 7 blood transfusions, chemo and other drugs and numerous hospital stays. He is currently in remission but continues to be monitored. These two are the real heroes on our team and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
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 to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
