Racing to Save Lives





Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member ofThe 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. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we 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.


Why You Should Sponsor Me:


I'm running the Los Angeles marathon to help cure and treat leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Now, you may be asking yourself, "How will Melissa running 26.2 miles help to cure and treat these diseases?" Well, the truth is that it won't, at least not unless you get involved.


The thing that will help to cure and treat these diseases is your money. More specifically, money that you donate to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in sponsorship of my running 26.2 miles. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will take the money that you donate and use it to fund research and treatment. See how that works? You give. I run. People get helped.


I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back


frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
