Hello! Welcome to my fundraising page! I am so excited to be a part of a fantastic organization that does SO much good for patients and families battling blood cancers. This is my third event with Team in Training, and I am excited to take on my second full marathon with your help! 26.2 miles is a long way, but its more of a mental game than a physical one. Everyone has different motivations to push them through an endurance event. This is mine. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society continues to save and improve lives, and knowing that part of this journey is contributing to a better life for someone else is huge. Second, I can't do this alone. Any of it. A contribution to LLS feels like you are joining me in this - and you don't have to do any of the work!

In fact - you can join me on race day! With a minimum $10 donation, your name will be hand written on a card that I will carry not only through 26.2 miles on race day, but through all my training miles too! When the going gets tough, knowing you care just as much about this cause as I do is just the extra push I need to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

A minimum $50 donation gets your name on my jersey. A huge thank you that will find itself in team photos, race photos, and memories that will last a life time.

For at least $100 I will write your name in Sharpee on my arms or legs. You are right there, sweating it out with me! And in the days to come, fading with the afterglow of 26.2 miles well run - you'll still be there!

So in advance, THANK YOU for taking on 26.2 with me. Thank you for making a contribution that is relentless in finding a cure for cancer. We race on March 17, so until then, come back and visit. Donate what you can and check in on periodic training updates!

GO TEAM!
