Riding to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training page.
I am training to participate in a 100 mile bike ride as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and Myeloma from taking more lives. I will complete this event in honor Chris Sprinz who is currently recovering from Leukemia and in memory of my grandmother Estelle Gershon who lost the battle to Lymphoma in 1994.
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.
Well we're almost there everyone, If you've considered donating but haven't yet, now is the time. A special thanks to Chris Sprinz and his friends and family for supporting this ride, TnT and LLS.
All Donations are 100% Tax Deductable!
