6 Days Left

The site seems to be having some technical difficulties so I will let you know that my goal is to raise $2,000 since right now it's showing as $0. I still have a bit to go so if you're considering a donation now is the time!

12 Days Left

Well, needless to say the race is sneaking up on me rather quickly. Yesterday I did my first 10.75 mile session in my life. I survived, so that's a good sign right? Just need to survive 13.1 miles on race day.

If you haven't already done so now is the time to donate. My official deadline to receive funds is September 10th which is just a few short days away. I will be able to accept donations after this time, but in the meantime I will have to make up the difference from what I've raised to what my goal is.

So if you don't want to see me on the street with a sign that reads "will run for food" please make your donation today :)

71 Days Until Race Day

Today I ran in the Fresh Burts 5 Mile Run in Lititz, PA. It was a great experience and it was wonderful to run into some of my fellow Team In Training Teammates. I did better than I expected, but not quite as well as I would have hoped, but I did finish in under an hour so I was excited about that. Next week is another 5 mile run in Terre Hill, PA. I look forward to reporting those results to you.

Thank you so much for your donations thus far. I very much appreciate all that you have contributed!

Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I'm training to participate in an endurance event 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!

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!

95 Days Until Race Day

Today I will be taking my normal route for running and increasing it by approximately a quarter of a mile. Currently, on average I'm running (jogging) about 17 miles a week. This is a number that will continue to increase quickly.

I can honestly say that if you asked me several months ago if I'd ever be running at all let alone multiple miles I would have most definitely said "no."

Sending out my fundraising letters soon. If you receive one thank you for taking the time to read it and visit my page!
