Thanks for taking the time to visit my page.
I'm participating in my very first triathalon to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
The triathalon is on Nov 8th at Treasure Island in San Francisco. It involves swimming 0.93miles miles in the Ocean, biking 24.8 miles, and running 6.2 miles -- I have no idea either how I'm going to do that swim!
By doing all this my hope is to raise $3100 by Oct 24th for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. LLS does a lot for cancer research and improving the lives of patients.
You can find more information on LLS at http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/hm_lls.
Do help if possible by contributing any amount that works for you.
I'll let you know how my very first Ocean swim goes!

| "As your former relay teammate I certainly know you are light on your feet. I'm sure swimming lightly will be just a matter of placing one hand forward after another until all the distance is swum; it's always a matter of will, no?" | |
