Racing to Save Lives

This is me at my first TNT event, the 2005 Rock'N'Roll Marathon in San Diego.

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

For a third time, I am training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. Previously, I trained for the San Diego Rock'N'Roll Marathon in 2005, and the Vancouver Half Marathon in 2006. This season, my goal is to complete the Prague International Marathon on May 11, 2008. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

I signed up for this event for several personal reasons:

  • I just finished graduate school and didn't know what to do with all my spare time.
  • I need external motivators to help get me in shape.
  • A trip to Prague is an example of such a motivator.

    • But even with all of these great reasons, what will actually get me out of bed early on a cold drizzly Saturday to run around in the rain is the thought of all of the people I could help by raising money for the LLS.

    If the fantastic coaches and mentors from Team in Training need to motivate me, all they have to do is remind me about the people who couldn't get up and go run around in the rain, even if for some reason they wanted to. These are the individuals who are battling blood cancers.

    Like me, you probably know people whose lives have been affected by these diseases. Please honor them and everyone else who is suffering, and help us get closer to a cure.

    Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.

    In lieu of a cash donation, you may wish to donate an auction or raffle item. I am also looking for corporate sponsors.

    I hope you'll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!

    P.S. I just got a new mp3 player and would love to hear your suggestions for great running songs. Got a tune that never fails to get you moving? Email me and let me know, or send me the link to a download. My email address is rebecca at bexandpaul dot com.
