Deeana's Marathon Training Fundraiser
Racing to Save Lives
Thank you for visiting my Team in Training home page. Visit regularly to check my training and fundraising progress. Your support is greatly appreciated!
I decided to train and run a marathon after being inspired by the number of female runners of all different shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and ages I had recently been exposed to through SheRuns I admired their dedication, drive, and determination and I set out to make it my goal to run a 26.2 mile race. Shortly thereafter, when I expressed this goal to naysayers, my haters became my motivators.
After doing some research to give my journey more purpose than just a personal athletic goal, I decided to train and fundraise with the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and to raise $4000 for the research and cure for blood cancer. Please assist me in reaching my goal. Your support not only motivates me to complete the Nike Women’s marathon, but it will go to an excellent cause. Check back to see my progress and for pictures of my training sessions. Ya girl is getting in shape! Also, check out our friends at SheRuns who specialize in apparel for female athletes. Type Dee Runs in the discount code and 15% of the proceeds of your purchase will go towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma society fundraiser. Thank you again for your support. ♥
