Racing to Save Lives Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
- I've been training since the end of May, and as of September 3rd, I've run 36 hours and gone 224 miles for my training for the Philadelphia ING Rock N Roll Half Marathon in September!
I'm also excited to say my dad is looking good and feeling well! He even had to get a haircut this weekend because its growing back!
I would like to thank my friends, family and friends of family for helping me raise over $3,400 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. When I decided to train for a half marathon and raise money, I never dreamed I would raise so much. Thanks so much for the generosity! Even though I have met my personal goal - I would love to raise even more for this great organization. If you haven't already, or would like to donate more, money can be added though to the end of September.
In December my dad, John, was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma. He went through months of treatement including chemotherapy and radiation. He is currently in remission and we pray that is where he will stay!
As I mentioned previously, along with dealing with all his cancer treatments he stopped smoking - which was an incredibly difficult thing for him to do. With this in mind, I decided to train to participate in a Half Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. If he can quit smoking and battle cancer - then I can run 13 miles.
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 my dad and 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!
We are so lucky that my dad's outcome has been positive. With all the research out there, his doctors were able to quickly diagnose and treat his cancer before it spread. I truly hope you will consider donating as much as you can to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
If you would rather donate by check you can write a check to LLS and send it to my home. Email me at tslyon@aol.com if you need my address.
