WELCOME TO MY TEAM IN TRAINING (TNT) HOME PAGE!

HERE IS MY NUMBER IN CASE YOU WANT TO TRACK ME ON MARATHON DAY - April 20, 2015 -

27304!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I am  doing this again!  Why, you may ask?

BECAUSE I CAN!!

I can run to help raise money for LLS!  Monies raised are used to help find cures for Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma, Hodgkins and to ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients.

I can honor my sister Kim's memory!  For those of you who do not know, Kim was diagnosed with and succombed to AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) at age 38 in 2005.  If running The Boston Marathon and raising funds for LLS can help even one family from suffering a similar fate, then it is all worth it!

I can be part of a team whose inspiration knows no bounds!  I hear stories of hope and stories of despair and am constantly humbled by the courage shown by patients and families.

I can carry the names of loved ones (either in memory of or in honor of) on my shirt.  Those names and their collective stories fuel me during those long runs and the marathon.t

I can show my grandson Jackson that we all can make a difference in our own way!

I can eat what I want while training! 

You can please make a monetary donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help get us all closer to a world without blood cancers.

You can also keep on sending love and prayers as they are most welcome and appreciated!

Thank you.  I am blessed!

Cathy Jackson Edington
