Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to my Team In Training home page!


I am running in honor of my father's memory, so let me tell you briefly about his struggle with lymphoma. He was 47 when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in May of 1985. It took just three months for the cancer to spread through his body, and he passed away in early August. I was 14 years old, and my brother was 15. We were both very young to have lost a parent.


I'm training to run in The Disneyland Half Marathon on September 5th 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 honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers, but most especially in honor of my father, Harold Rex Craig.


Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.


Thank you!


~Kira

    "Can't find your running log so will go with 10 cents/minute for 100 minutes or 10 cents/mile for 100 miles and hope your training is somewhere in between this week."
