I CAN do this... with your help!
Can you believe I'm going to be a marathoner!? Me!?
Welcome to my Team In Training home page where I'm going to make it happen.
Since November, I have been training to complete the Country Music Half-Marathon in April 2008. That is 13.1 miles at one time! I will reach this lofty goal 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 myelomam (blood cancers) from taking more lives.
They're helping me and I'm helping them... so, everybody wins!
Fundraising for me is very abstract, but TNT has been awesome because I've been introduced, talked to and am getting to know people who have actually benefitted from the funds raised by LLS. And, of course, the research made possible through our fundraising not only helps fight blood cancers but, also help advance knowledge about all kinds of cancers.
Please make a donation to support me and my participation in Team In Training. More importantly, you're helping advance the Society's mission.
Come back often to check my progress. And, thank you for helping me accomplish something I NEVER thought I could do!
Track my training (and provide encouragement) on my blog at www.myspace.com/sarabigod.
