Racing to Save Lives



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



I am a cancer survivor. 7 years ago, right after I had my son, I was diagnosed with AML, a type of Leukemia. I was treated with radiation, chemotherapy and eventually cured with a Stem Cell transplant. Cells lovingly donated by my brother, Mike. I have been doing great since then and have enjoyed motherhood, performing live comedy and I just went back to school to learn film production!



Since I'm doing so well, and have the energy, 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!
