As many of you know, I completed my first marathon on May 10, 2010 with Team in Training. It was a wonderful experience to which many of you contributed. Thank you! But once again, I need your help.
I'm happy to report that I will be participating in my second event with Team in Training, and look forward to running the 2011 Ogden Marathon. All of us involved with Team In Training are raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this event in honor of my good friend Toby and all other blood cancer survivors.
Toby Gage Wilson was diagnosed with Leukemia (T-Cell ALL) on October 8th 2005 at the tender age of 2. After some tough and tiring months of testing, chemo, and various treatments, Toby has made a wonderful recovery.
As a member of Team in Training, I aspire to help families like Toby's find faith, hope, and support. So please, join the cause. Do something good for yourself and for others.
Please make a donation to support my participation in the 2011 Ogden Marathon and help advance LLS's mission to bring awareness to blood cancers and help find a cure.
