Support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society today!

Totally ambitious... :o)

Learning our stretches!

Learning our walk technique!

I'm participating in a marathon for a great cause - to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society!! Leukemia is the number one killing disease of children, yet it affects 11 times as many adults. Every ten minutes, someone in the US dies from one of these diseases. More research is needed to fight the leukemia and lymphomas that don’t yet respond to treatment. More money is needed to help families in crisis and return families of survivors to normal lives.

I am training to participate in the Nike Women's Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. We are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission. Each donation is important, no matter the amount, and of course, it is tax deductible.

Please help increase your donation by taking advantage of your company's employee donation matching program! Please enter my information in the Description field so that it gets credited towards my fundraising total: "For participant Joanne Wu Jennings (Silicon Valley/Monterey Bay Walk Team, Summer 2007, Nike Women's Marathon)". This team is sponsored through the LLS SV/MB chapter in San Jose, CA. Sun employees - please double your donation by participating in the Sun US Gift Matching program! You can submit matching gift requests via a secure, online tool (this site is outside SWAN).

Thank you! Casper and Moobo thank you too (arf arf!) They are immensely happy that they are not allowed to train or participate in the race! Whew!! (because it would take those little guys a long time to run a marathon and they'd rather be asleep)

Thank you!!
Joanne
