Fighting leukemia in memory of Margie Griffin
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I am training to participate in a grueling endurance event 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 myeloma from taking more lives. Last August, my mother in law Margie Griffin passed away from a battle with leukemia. She was very close to my family. Additionally, my friend Stacy Bowman is in remission from mast cell leukemia. Stacy is a great inspiration because her fight against cancer has been heroic.
As part of the challenge I'm taking on a personal challenge of completing a grueling 130 mile bike ride over 5 mountain passes on July 8th. The personal challenge is a symbolic way of showing that great challenges, like fighting blood cancers, can be defeated. These challenges can be overcome with the perserverance and support. Together we can cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
