Andy Tabor's Century Ride in Memory of Andi Szabolcs
Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I am training to participate in the SeaGull Century 100 mile bike ride endurance event 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 lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers, but especially in the honor & memory of a friend of mine Andi Szabolcs who lost this battle July 2nd, 2007. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.
I hope you'll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
Training Update: 7/28/07 I particitpated and completed the Eddy's Sweet Corn 50 mile Challenge course a few weekends ago!
A few Saturday's ago I went on a "short" 8 mile fun ride with a group of fellow Team in Training Teamates to visit a young girl battleing Leukemia so that she can see how many people are pulling for herto get better.
Sunday 8/19/07 I completed a soaking, shivering 59 mile ride ( should have been 55 miles.... took a wrong turn in the rain!) Hopefully the 100 mile ride in Oct. won't be this cold & wet.
9/2/07 Did the STOMP (Summit County Tour of the MetroParks ride 59.16 miles on my "off week".
9/8/07 53.4 mile Emerald Necklace East ( Squires Castle in Willoughby to Chagrin Falls and back 2 times). ONLY 2 more long mile weekends ( 63.5 miles and 72.5 miles) to go before we pack!
10/06/07 Sea Gull Century: I DID IT!!! I completed the 100 miles. I could not have done it without the great coaching and fellow team mates of Team in Training Northern Ohio as well as my friends and family!
I want to thank you all for your support, donations, and words of encouragement!!! Please feel free to call me direct @ 216-235-5352 with any questions regarding this 100 mile endurance event. Bandi/Andy/Andreas
I am planning on continuing this journey by once again participating in the Cleve. Marathon ( May 2008) in preparation for my first triathlon "The Nations Triathlon" Washington D.C. ( Sept. 2008) .

*********************************************
Forever in our hearts:
Forget Me Not
Forget me not for I am there
In the beat of your heart
On the wing of your prayer.
Forgive my parting and leaving you thus,
A joyous reunion is waiting for us!
Continue to strive toward your goal and be brave.
Know that my love didn't stop at the grave.
My spirit is with you through good times and bad.
I'll share all the joys and the sorrows you have.
Feel my presence within your next breath And realize there is no distance in death.
Ask for my help and I'll answer you call.
Reach for my hand when you stumble and fall.
Run the last mile with a smile on your face.
My arms will be waiting when you finish the race.
Always remember my love is right there In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.
