This one's for you, JBags.

Hey guys, welcome to the 'official' page for my 1/2 Marathon with the LLS.

I'm training to participate in a 13.1 mile race 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 choosing to train for this challenge and come together with this team in an effort to find a cure for all of the blood related diseases that take those closest to us. The people who fight these diseases everyday are the real heroes on our team, and I need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

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

My hope is that you check in here often. Not only will my fundraising goals be posted, but I fully intend on keeping you all up to date on the training process. Most of you know that I have some struggles with being athletic in any way, shape or form, and generally have a hard time putting one foot in front of the other. I believe that this 1/2 marathon will not only grow me as a person, help to aide in the research of an illness we have all been so deeply affected by, but provide a little light (and laugh) within my shortfalls. Jonny, you fought hard. Now It's my turn to fight back. Love and be love.
