Racing...again

My Family and Friends... I finished the full San Diego Marathon on June 4th in six hours for Team in Training. I was the eighth highest fundraiser out of hundreds at $16,144! Thanks to you the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society is that much better off. I'm running a half-marathon on November 4th in Santa Barbara for Team in Training, I'll be running with a heavy heart, a friend to many here has had a relapse of lymphoma and faces a tough fight before the New Year. I asked her if I could run in her honor, she said yes, as long as I wear her name decaled on the backside of my shorts. So I'm running again, full of hope and prayers for her and would love any support you can give me. If you donated last time, I'll let you of the hook with suggesting a $25 or $50 donation. I'll understand if you're tapped out, I just felt that I could swing another race (being an official marathoner 'n all) and there's a fundraising minimum of $2200 to qualify. Thank you all for your support, both spiritually and financially. I have additional space on my back side should anyone wish to add a loved one's name, It's free and goes far (13.1 miles) . I'm so grateful, xox Ellie
