Racing to Save Lives

Dear friends and family, I have joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team and Training(TNT) once again but this time to do the ultimate endurance event...I am fundraising and training to become an Ironman! Or Ironwoman as I prefer! I will be training and fundraising to reach our goal of $7,500 for the next 10 months. I have signed up for Ironman Canada which wil take place in August 2006 in Pentiction, British Columbia. It is a challenge of Ironman will and strength to complete a 2.4 mile open water swim, followed by a 112 mile bike ride and last but not least a 26.2 mile marathon run-all in a single day! I know, you are all probably asking yourself : Can she do this ? Well only race day can tell, but by following TNT's incredible training program I should be able to complete the Ironman just like the 80 year old man, 76 year old Sister Madonna, and amputee Sarah Reinertsen did at the Ironman World Championships in Kona this year! This time I will be training with my friend, Lesley Mansford, who inspires me every day in her own fight against Leukemia. I welcome any of you to come to Canada to support our California Chapter and our fight against Leukemia. It will be an incredible day you won't want to miss! Thank you for your support . Love, Megan
