Tiffany Diaz's Team In Training Page
Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I am training to participate in an 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 am taking on the challenge of a triathlon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. Caylyn Bachman is the honored hero for the Greenville chapter of team in training. Caylyn is the daughter of Tully and Cathy Bachman. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) on March 29th, 2006. Currently she is undergoing chemotherapy, and doesn't complain about her treatment. She really is the cutest little girl, and everyone at the greenville chapter are hoping for the best in health and happiness for her.
Each year, leukemia and other related cancers claim the lives of thousands of people. It is estimated that leukemia and other related cancers struck more than 100,000 Americans last year, and killed 60,000. Although the cause of cancer remains unknown, steady advances in research and treatment are bringing us much closer to cures. In fact, thanks to the research funded inpart by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the survival rate for the most common form of childhood leukemia has improved from 4% in 1960 to 88% today. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.
