swim, bike, run; and save lives
Less than 1 week until race day on April 25th.
Training through ice, sleet and unseasonably cold temps in Atlanta proved a challenge. It has seemed like a lot of work this season! Then one day after a sleet and windstorm of 20 degrees and a long bike ride, a boy came up to the team and said thank you. The boy was 16, and thanked us because had suffered from leukemia a few years back and is now clear. That day turned into the best training day. No matter how hard we train for the race, it does not match or even compare to what these cancer survivors had to endure. Let's stop cancer; and the time is NOW!
This picture above is myself, and the little girl Fiona who is now in remission from leukemia thanks to the funds raised from Team in Training. She celebrated her 6th birthday with us and cheered for us on raceday.
Take a look at my blog from last season, that illustrates why I do what I do - in particular these two posts that sum up the inspiration. Training Inspired and Inspired Heroes.
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 triathlon 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.
