Racing to Save Lives

Welcome back to my Team In Training home page.

The 2009 Disney Marathon was such a life-altering event for me, I've decided to go again. I'm training to participate in the 2010 Disney Half 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. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

This year, I run in memory of my mom's good friend, Jackie, who lost her fight on April 12, 2009.

I will, once again, run in honor of my cousin's co-worker, Bobbert, who has been in remission for all of 2009!

I am also running in honor of a friend's father, Frank, who was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma.

I look forward to partnering with you again this year as we help fund the fight against blood cancers.

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

I hope you will visit my web site often.

Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!

Cheers,

Rachel
