Arvee Robinson: Running At Fifty!
Racing to save lives...
I have recently taken an interest in running. Yes, that’s right, running. In January 2006 I set a goal: lose weight and get back in shape. To do that, I hired a personal trainer. At our first session, I laughed at him when he told me to run from here to that tree (only about five yards). “You’ve got to be kidding!” I said. Now, I compete in 5K and 10K races and run over five miles every day. I entered races to support worthy causes but that wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to do more. I wanted to run more. Then I found Team in Training, a fundraising marathon-training program, and joined. Team in Training will prepare me and my teammates to overcome the challenges of running a marathon (yes, you heard right!) while fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I invite you to support me in making a difference as I raise funds for the Team in Training program and train for the LA Marathon on March 4, 2006. I am personally committed to raising $5,000. When you make your tax-deductible donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society you help further this great cause. Every dollar you give will make every step I take during the LA Marathon that much lighter! Love and life, Arvee 909-645-9147
