7/7/09 UPDATE
I made it! It took me 6 hours, 50 minutes, and 3 seconds to complete 26.2 miles. I am so proud of myself but I could not have done it without you all...thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I'm training to participate in the Rock N Roll Seattle Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) 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. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers, but more specifically for my grandparents==between them, they've had breast cancer, skin cancer, bladder cancer, and a brain tumor. These people are the real heroes on my team, and I need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
Honored Heroes
My team is also training in honor of Kaylee Siegfried and Grace DiGiacomo. Kaylee is an athletic 13 year old that was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in June of 2006. Although she went through chemotherapy, she did not let that stop her. She continued to play sports (softball and track) and live her life. Grace is a little girl that loves to be silly. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in May of 2006. She has been going through chemo treatment since then, and will finally be finished in August 2009! If they can go through chemo, I can certainly run 26.2 miles! To read more about the girls, visit their websites:

UPDATE 5/18/09: We got to meet Kaylee and her family! They were amazing and were really grateful that we are doing this.

I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress as I train to run a full marathon (26.2 miles, yes, all at once!). Thanks for your support!
