Racing to Save Lives

(that's me - bottom row, middle, just after finishing in 2009)


Racing to Save Lives

For the third year in a row, I am racing to save lives and find a cure for blood cancers as a member of Team In Training! Again this year, I am serving as a Team Captain and will help other participants with their fundraising goals too.


All Team In Training (TNT) participants raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) while traing for an endurance event - in this case the Nike Women's Marathon... all 26.2 miles. We are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking any more lives. Together, we can find a cure for blood cancers!


Every dollar counts:

$32.00=Prescription for anti-nausea medicine

$54.00= One week of low grade chemotherapy

$75.00= Screening for bone marrow donor

$100.00= Monthly blood analysis

$200.00= Blood transfusion

$500.00=Blood chromosome analysis


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!


I train and run in honor of my step-grandma Lorraine. My own grandmother passed away when I was 4 so Lorraine is the only grandma I've really known. If she can fight multiple myeloma for years, I can run a few miles and raise money in hopes that we will find a cure. I chose to train for an event (Nike Women's Marathon) whose goal and purpose is to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Together, we can make a difference 1 mile and 1 dollar at a time.


I would love to run in honor or memory of your loved ones too. Please make sure to let me know (jennifer.wellborn@gmail.com) your loved ones names and I will carry them with me on race day. Visit tntjennifer.blogspot.com to see a list of all honored teammates.


Check with your employer to see if they do matching funds for donations! Remember, your donation is tax deductible.


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


Follow our progress to the finish line at tntjennifer.blogspot.com! Thanks for your support!
