Mike's Climb'n Over Cancer
Welcome to my Team In Training home page. After 16 weeks of train I'm leaving on Saturday June 3rd to join my cycling teamates for our endurance ride. I've been training by getting to 3-4 spinning cycle classes/week at 6 A.M., and logging in extended training rides on weekends and some weekday evenings with my TNT teamates. I've trained to participate in a 100 mile one day endurance cycling event in Lake Tahoe California with members of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. So far our group of 50+ riders has raised over $300,000. It has been inspiring working with the exceptionl group of individuals, some of whom are cancer survivors themselves. The dollars we earn make an immediate difference in the lives of affected individuals and they will help fund researchers looking for better treatments. Leukemia and lymphoma are the most common causes of cancer deaths in children under 20, and are the 5th leading cause of cancer deaths in men and 6th leading cause in women. The prognosis is getting better all the time. New breakthroughs are on the horizon with all the new research in genetics. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training. The future life you save may be your own or someone you love. Help us win this race against this deadly foe. Be sure to check back frequently to see how the ride went. Thanks for your support! Michael Silverstein M.D.
