*Training Update*

I just finished the Miami half-marathon feeling better than ever! My new goal is set for Nashville: 1:44, it will take alot of focus this next month but I find new inspiration every day! Thank you for your support!!

Racing to Save Lives!


Welcome to Jessica's Team In Training home page!!



I'm training to compete in the Country Music Half Marathon 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. The best part is that the funds go back to the greater Philadelphia area to help support local research!


I am completing this event in honor of my dad who fought Lipoma Sarcoma cancer in the back of his neck and shoulders after we completed the Marine Corps Marathon together in 2008. He was treated locally in Philadelphia at Fox Chase Cancer Center, driving from southern New Jersey every morning to recieve radiation and fight the disease. My dad is a real hero 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 to inspire others to stay active and healthy so we can see a cure within this lifetime! Please visit my web site often and help me reach my goal of raising $4,500 to help fight this battle we call cancer!


Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress!

Thank you SO much for your support in my newest challenge!
