Jennifer Havens's Team In Training Page
Kicking it up a notch...
Welcome to my fundraising homepage!
First and foremost, thank you for stopping by! Especially if I hit you up for money last year, the fact that you've come this far means a lot to me.... But don't stop there!
I was committed to Team in Training last year (and maybe, should've been committed!), but this year I'm doing even more. HOW, you ask??:
(1) This year I am not only a participant in Team in Training, the endurance sports training group that raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but I am also a team leader. That is how strongly I believe in this program and the wonderful things that it does.
(2) This year I am setting my sights on the Disney Marathon. That's right, 26.2 miles of pure insanity. At my current pace, that will be over five hours of "running."
The big question remains -- WHY on earth would I sign up for this??
(1) I'm doing it for my grandfather, Elmer "Al" Havens. In recent months he has had to fight harder than ever against the cancer in his body. He is a true inspiration to me and most everyone who knows him, and his fight has made me believe that I can conquer 26.2. So on January 13th I will do just that, and every step I take will be in honor of him.
(2) I'm doing it for the cause, for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a unique charity that helps fight all of the ways that cancer affects people -- not just as a disease, but as a social epidemic. LLS helps patients get medication, helps families cope, helps school-children understand what to expect when a child with leukemia returns to school, and it funds ground-breaking research that will hopefully make all of those programs unnecessary.
(3) I'm doing it for the TEAM! As a team leader this year, my goal is to show any one who wants to get out there and make a difference, contribute to a cause, or conquer an endurance event, that if I can do it, ANYONE can!
