Racing to Save Lives
Hello everyone! Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I am training to participate in a marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling all types of blood cancers. Team in Training is celebrating it's 20th year and I have had the opportunity to meet many people that have been involved throughout the years. I am told the experience is nothing short of amazing. Along with the bonds we will build with all of our teammates, we will also be spending time with cancer patients and their families- this program really gets you involved, and lets us see first-hand what the money we're raising is doing to help change lives.
We all know someone who has gone through cancer or had a loved one go through it. My husband, Jon, is a cancer survivor. His determination and positive outlook in the face of the disease serves as an inspiration for me to get involved and actively join the fight.
I will be training 3 days a week with my team for the next 5 months in order to prepare for the big race which takes place in Anchorage, Alaska in June. I've never done anything like this in my life and am looking forward to the challenge! I appreciate everyone's support for this very worthy cause.
No donation is too small, every bit helps, and with your help I will be able to reach my goal of raising $3,900.00 and help with the Society's mission to save lives and help families in need. Your contribution is 100% tax deductible, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will send you a thank you and a receipt for your tax purposes.
Be sure to check back frequently for updates and to see my progress. If you have any questions about the Society and what they do, or just want to drop me a note, please feel free to email me anytime. Thank you so much for your support!
