Becca Shim: tri-ing to be an athlete
Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I am currently training to participate in a triathlon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training.
As you well know, endurance training comes second nature to me as I have always excelled in sports such as sleeping, lounging and indecisiveness. In an effort to diversify my athletic experience and support an amazing cause, I'm asking for your support to help me reach my goal and to join in an effort to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.
Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns that he or she has leukemia, Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma or myeloma. Every ten minutes, someone dies of a blood cancer. Leukemia is the number one disease killer of children. I'm completing this event in honor of all individuals who have been or are being effected by blood cancers.
