Racing to Save Lives



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



I have signed up to train for and run in the San Antonio Rock and Roll Marathon in November of 2008. But I am not running or training alone. Both my husband, Steve, and I have joined

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us involved with 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. Specifically, I am running in honor of 3 people who have been very important in my life - Lindsay; Barb and David. We also have a local 'hero' who our team is running in honor of. You see me pictured with him at a recent team meeting. This is 6-year old Jared who is currently in remission from AML Leukemia, having been diagnosed in August of 2007. I know that the pain that I wil experience training for and running in the marathon is nothing compared to what Jared as been through in the past 8 months. (If you'd like, you can read more about our experience on my blog. )





Would you consider making a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission? It's easy to do by just clicking the 'Make A Donation' button. (For every $25.00 donated, you will get your name put into the drawing for a variety of prizes that you can see here. )





I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!

    "Thank you for running for my cousin, Emily, as well. She is a force to be reckoned with as she is forever hopeful that each round of chemo will do the trick and that the insurance company will continue to approve payment for her treatments. God bless you and Steve."
