G.P.S Fundraising
Welcome Everyone!!!
First of all I'd like to explain the acronym that will define the duration of training:
Guidance: from a team of dedicated, selfless individuals
Perseverance: through a journey to support and commit to an incredible cause
Strength: to complete 26.2 miles and raise over $4400 in funds!!!
My Cause:
I joined Team in Training for a couple different reasons: some humanitarian and some personal. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training is a combined effort to raise 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 have lost, won or are fighting the battle against blood cancers including my late granny, Gladys Arnold.
My Story:
I've been running since I can remember completing races from the Navy Seal Family Fun run at 1 yrs old to my last Half Marathon back in 2007. These races are great accomplishments for myself but this time I wanted to do something for someone else while achieving a fitness goal at the same time. So I've finally taken the first step: and bought some shoes! (j/k) and signed up for a personal journey fueled by the support of team, friends and family! For the next 4 months I will be training with a group of individuals for the Honolulu Marathon on December 14th, 2008.
My checklist:
- shoes: (thanks mom and dad) check!
- mentor: (Erin Shulsinger) check!
- training schedule: check!
- team: (LA Westside) check!
- hotel: (Hilton) check!
- plane ticket: (American) check!
- friend: check!
- FUNDS: __almost there!______ this is where you come in!
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission. $4,400 is the minimum to go to Honolulu but I've set my personal goal at $6,000 to blow it out of the water! A contribution in any dollar amount will help!
Come back and visit my web site often to peep my progress. Also, plllllease send my website link to anyone and everyone who wants to find a cure: friends, family, co-workers, doctors...etc. Ask your company if they will do a match donation, many do!
Helping to find a cure,
Channing Becker
