Another Chance to Cure Blood Cancers
You didn't think I'd quit after a few marathons did you?
• In June 2007, I walked 26.2 miles in San Diego's Rock 'N Roll Marathon.
• In October 2007 I walked the hills of San Francisco for the Nike Women's Marathon.
• A week later I walked the Emerald Isle for the Dublin Marathon.
Why all this huffing and puffing? This is all to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as part of Team In Training. Team members participate in endurance sports events to raise funds to help find a cure for blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma).
This is a personal cause for my family. Last year, we lost my uncle to multiple myeloma. Less than a third of myeloma patients make it to the five-year survival mark. To change that statistic, we need to fund research.
I'm training and raising money. What can you do?
Donate!
The truth is a cure costs money - lots and lots of money. Since its founding, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has funded more than $400 million in research. I'm committed to raising money to help find a cure and I'm asking you to help. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training. Your dollars go to help advance the Society's mission of finding a cure and supporting patients and their families. Your donations are tax-deductible.
