For everyone that has donated $25 or more so far, and anyone that does by next Friday, Sept. 6, I'm going to be drawing a name out of a hat to give a $50 restaurant gift card to! It's good at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Longhorn Steakhouse, and any other Darden Restaurant.


I would love to get to the 20% mark by that point! Good luck!

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


Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


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.

"In 2004, I had a home health aid (Verdell) come check in with my premature daughter for one month. She was kind, gentle and even let me cry postpartum tears on her shoulder. Two years later while in the hospital waiting for MRI results on my daughter, who had just been diagnosed with a rare brain disorder, I met Verdell in the coffee shop. We stopped to chat and she shared with me that her son, 10, had just passed away from Leukemia. Please run in his honor. Thank you. "
