Teams are made up of individuals. Without them, there is no team.

If you would have asked me a year ago if I would ever run a full marathon, I would have laughed at you. A year later, I have completed a marathon (The Philadelphia Marathon) and I am signed up to run my second 26.2 in San Diego on June 3rd. None of this would have been possible without the support of my amazing teammates, who I now have the honor of calling friends. There is truly something profound about spending your weekends and evenings running, not only in the pursuit of a longer and faster distance, but in trying to raise money for such an important cause.

I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in a sports endurance event as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life by participating and with your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.
