Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


I'm training to compete in the El Tour de Tucson, a 109 mile bicycle race in Tucson, Arizona, November 21st, 2009. I will participate in this endurance event 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. I am completing this event in my uncle Malcolm "The Muffin Man" Flowers honor (pictured above on his last race)- who lost his battle with cancer in May of 2009. He is my hero and I am riding in this race to raise money to find a cure for blood cancers and to honor his memory, and I need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!


Please go to the following link to see the tribute to my uncle, Malcolm Flowers, its funny and moving all at the same time, and it really captures his essence. He was such a great guy! http://www.ocrebels.com/riderscorner.htm


In partnership with Pinstripes Bistro, I will be hosting a "Miles for Malcolm" Fundraiser on 10/22 (Thursday) to rasie money for the TIT and LLS, the address is 100 W. Higgins Rd. Barrington, Il 60010 from 6-9PM. For a $15 donation you get an assortment of Pizza and Flatbread, beer or wine and great friends all for a good cause. Please come out and join us, it will be a fun time! You can purchase tickets in advance, just call 734-752-9826 or pay at the door the day of the event or from my training blog here from PAYPAL: http://mytrainingforeltourdetucson.blogspot.com/



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.
