Barbara's IronTeam Training for a Cause
Improving lives one mile at a time
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I am training to participate in an endurance event of a life time: IRONMAN. As a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training, I'm raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am participating in this in memory of my late husband Sonny, and his friend Ted, and my girlfriend's brother-in-law Phil, and Ken, the late husband of another girlfriend. I also do this in honor of all individuals who are currently battling blood cancers, such Trevor, Dave and my Uncle Jim. Each of the above indiviuals are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
Please join me is funding research. Remember your contribution is 100% tax deductible!! This year my goal is to raise $7,500 to add to the $16,000 I have already raised over the past 3 years. This is a lofty goal and it will be difficult, but easier than what each of the men above have gone through. Sonny, Ted and Phil each agreed to an endurance event much more difficult than I: a bone marrow transplant! In the hope to live, to kiss their wife, to see their children grow and marry, and to play with their grandkids. I do this event for them. Thank You for your support!
