Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I'm training to participate in Walt Disney World Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. That's right, I said Marathon. No chickening out this year. I'm training all summer to get into better shape so I can be ready when then Marathon training starts.

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!

Here's a picture from last year's event weekend:

That's me the day after the race, wearing my Donald Duck medal. Donald was so excited to see it!

Spooky Virtual Races

I'm excited to announce my Spooky Virtual Races! I'm inviting everyone to join me in running virtual races during Halloween weekend. I just checked my training schedule and I am *only* running 12 miles that day.

Here's the plan:

1. Make a donation here in the amount of the distance that you plan to run (5K=$5, 10K =$10, etc)

2. Comment here or on my blog (http://www.whomerun.com) that you've made the donation and what distance you plan to run

3. Share this on your own blog, on Facebook, on Twitter, by email - with everyone that you know inviting them to join us in the race

On Halloween weekend (October 30 and 31) run your race and report back on my blog what your time is. I'll have prizes for the best 5K, 10K and half marathon times. If you are one of the lucky ones (i.e., crazies) who are running the Marine Corps Marathon (or some other race that weekend), I'll even have prizes for people running a marathon that weekend.

If you're out there with a group and get dressed up for your run, send me pictures and I'll share them on my blog. I'm pretty sure that I'll be out there in some kind of costume with TNT that weekend.

I hope lots of people get involved so that we can have some good competition!

Thanks for all your support!
