Racing to Save Lives
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage
Bryona Hamilton has been an incredible inspiration to me. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia on May 21, 2002. Once a month, she receives both chemotherapy in her medipport and chemotherapy in the spine. Bryona is now in remission. She is a very happy, sociable seven year old. Bryona loves animals, swimming and biking.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training ® is the world's largest endurance sports training program. The program provides training to run or walk marathons and half marathons or participate in triathlons and century (100-mile) bike rides. Since 1988, more than 295,000 volunteer participants have helped raise funds for the society.
I will be running a San Francisco Nike Marathon on October 21, 2007. To take part in this event, I will have to raise $4,250. The primary cause of Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is to further research, education and support people with leukemia and lymphoma. Funds raised by me will benefit people like Bryona.

More Information
Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma
Leukemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma are cancers that originate in the bone marrow (in the case of leukemia and myeloma) or in lymphatic tissues (in the case of lymphoma).
- Every five minutes, someone in the United States learns that they have leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma -- nearly 300 people a day.
- Every nine minutes, a child or adult dies from leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma
The Mission and History of the society
The Society's roots stretch back to 1949, when the de Villiers family experienced the devastation of leukemia with the death of their 16-year-old son, Robert Roesler de Villiers. Family members and friends declared war on the disease by creating The Robert Roesler de Villiers Foundation, funding research to find a cure. The foundation later became The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
Team In Training ® History
Team In Training (TNT) began in 1988, when Bruce Cleland of Rye, NY formed a team that raised funds and trained to run the New York City Marathon in honor of Cleland's daughter Georgia, a leukemia survivor. The team of 38 runners raised $322,000 for the Society's Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter. Because of the pioneering efforts of Cleland and the Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, Team In Training was born and has grown into the world's largest endurance sports training program. Cleland was honored by Runner's World magazine in 2004 as one of their "Heroes of Running" for his role in establishing TNT.
