Running For A Cause

Hi Everyone-
After enduring a very long year and even worse -- losing a piece of my extended family, I have decided to take a little inspiration from a friend and join Team In Training to run in the LA Marathon in March 2012. As many of you may know, I have been a huge breast cancer supporter for about the last 6 years after finding out that someone very dear to me (and practically my second mother), Rosa, went through a very difficult battle with breast cancer. After taking care of her throughout the process and watching her fight everyday with such an immense passion for life, she became an inspiration to me and I can just imagine how many other people around her. After thinking I would never have to deal with cancer again, I watched as both my grandmothers and my students mother went through it also…all with such strength and with such deep desires to beat it…which they all eventually did. But, last month I watched as my father lost his best friend of over 20 years to this horrible monster and decided it was about time I put my support into action. So with all that being said, I will be proudly running in the LA Marathon in March 2012. As is usual for Team In Training, my running will be raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. So if you love me, like me, or even hate me but care about the importance of cancer research PLEASE donate to my cause…you will not regret it!
XOXO,
Elina

Teams are made up of individuals. Without them, there is no team.
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in a sports endurance event as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life by participating and with your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.
Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.
