Hello!

Thank so very much to everyone who donated and helped me raise $2250 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Your love, generosity and support has been overwhelming.

Unfortunately $2250 isn’t enough, the fight against blood cancers isn’t over and we still need your help. So I am at it again!

I have already registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon. Please go to my new link to donate.

Hello!

Here are the rules to the 10 for 10 Challenge:

1. Donate $10

2. Forward this page to at least 10 friends.

It's that easy.

My goal for this challenege is to get at least 50 people to donate $10, that adds up really fast to $500. Lets see if we can make this happen in under a week.

Let's put in perspective shall we.

It costs more than $10 to go to Chipotle for lunch, so pack a lunch this week.

It costs more than $10 to go to Starbucks twice, so make some home brew.

It costs more than $10 to go to the movies, play a game at home (you'll have more fun anyway)

Oh man! I cannot believe it has already been 5 weeks.

Fundraising is going great! (I am so glad to be saying that) I set a smaller goal of reaching $1000 by recommitment on March 13th, and I only need $330 more! What is recommitment? We are basically signing a form stating that we will reach our fundraising minimum by May 20th otherwise I will personally pay the difference, Yikes! But I have faith, in myself and in all of you!

Training...what to say about training. I will be headed out for a 5 miler tomorrow morning, easy right? Although I have been having some crazy cramps in my calves I have done everything imaginable to fix this situation and am looking forward to finishing strong in the morning.

More to come on the fantastic Cinco De Mayo party that Papa Fred is hosting for me! I am so excited and I cannot wait!

Hi family and friends,

I have offered this to one person so far and wanted to extend it to everyone. Before each of our Saturday runs someone gets up and talks about thier experiences with Leukemia and Lymphoma its our "mission moment" to remind everyone that even though we are cold and hurting there is a much bigger reason we are there. I am so grateful that my life has not been personally touched by these blood cancers but I know that is not the case for everyone. So please if you or someone you love has survived, is fighting or has lost this battle and would like me to dedicate a run to them, send me their story and picture and I would be more than happy to do that.

Side not for the Garrison's I want to dedicate a run to Brandi and would like everyone who knew her to send me a story or favorite moment so that i can compile everything together.

With love and sore legs - Andi

Hello Everyone!

Well it's really cold outside, and I am so out of shape but it also feels so good to be getting back into the swing of things! I had my first Saturday run, just three miles ;), everyone at Team in Training is so nice and supportive, I don't think I could ask for a better group!
