Michelle Butterfield's Team in Training Page
Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I have been doing events with TNT since 2001, I have completed 12 marathons, and the reason I got started with them in first place is because of my father. He passed away almost 13 years ago from Leukemia. He passed only 2 days after being diagnosed. He didn't have a chance to fight so I thought there is something I can do, I can continue the fight a mile at a time with the help of Team in Training. Since then I have met many survivors, those who continue to fight, and those whose memory is forever etched in my heart. In these past seven years I have personally seen the strides the Leukemia and Lymphoma have made in research and the survival rate keeps going up as treatments improve. They are dedicated to finding a cure. Please support me as I have challenged myself to complete an Iron Man on August 2nd. My family has graciously supported me, as this rigorous training keeps me away for many hours at a time. It's not easy to prepare for a 140.6 mile triathlon, but neither is being told you have a blood related cancer. Thanks for all your support and time.
