Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

First of all, I want to THANK YOU for stopping by my page!

At the beginning of this year I made a New Years Resolution… that I would run a Marathon. I love challenges and I love accomplishing them even more! Well guess what? I’m doing it! I’m going to participate in the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco this October. And here’s the challenging part…I DON’T LIKE RUNNING!!! … Nope, not one bit.

So whyyyyyy am I doing this??? To help find a cure for cancer. That’s why. How? By participating with the "Team in Training". While I am training for the Nike Woman’s Marathon, I will help raise funds and awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The money raised for LLS will go to cancer research and support services at Stanford, UC Berkley, UCSF and other facilities around the world.

I'm already up to 10 miles!!!!!! Now, I'm not gonna lie.... training is verrrrrrry hard. When that alarm clock goes off on a Saturday morning, I want to turn it off, roll over and go back to bed. Instead, I get up and go to practice because I made a commitment! During my training I have already faced some challenges like achy knees, sore muscles (some that I didn’t even know I had) and broken toenails. But those challenges are nothing compared to the physical and emotional pain faced by a person going through cancer treatments or the emotional challenges faced by the supporters of a cancer patient.

Hopefully, one day there will be a cure for all types of cancer but until then I will be changing lives one mile at a time. I have set a personal fundraising goal of $3,200 to help cancer patients and their families. I hope to raise this amount by October 2010. This money could help someone you know with cancer, someone you don’t know or someone that you will know in the future.

If you would like to help change lives and make a 100% tax deductible contribution to LLS you can donate right here on this page!

Thank you soooooo much your support.

Xoxo,

Sisanie
