Running For Our Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I am training to participate in the Disney half marathon in January as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. I am doing this in honor of my mother, Elizabeth Hawes. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. As you know, my mother passed away from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia two years ago. I'm completing this marathon in honor of her and all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! We need to support research to help find a cure for these diseases. Survival rates are not improving even with the current amount of funding.

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

I hope you'll visit my web site here to see how my fundraising is going. You can also visit my blog: http://teammimi.blogspot.com to read about the day in and out struggles and triumphs of training for this incredible feat. I am asking everyone I know to donate at least $34. If 100 people donate $34 I will have met my fundraising goal. If you think about it this is dinner or 9 drinks from Fourbucks your favorite coffee bar or $1.13 a day for one month. Mostly I really appreciate anything you donate to reach my goal.

Thanks for your support!
