About Elizabeth (Lisa):

Lisa was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma this past October. She is thirty years old and lives in Hull, Massachusetts with her wonderful Husband, Adam and a beautiful and spunky two and half year old daughter, Grace. Before treatment, Lisa taught middle school science on the south shore. In her free time, she enjoys biking, being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. Recently, she has been busy entertaining guests, reading, playing Scattegories and making nurses love their jobs. After treatment, Lisa will being training for the Pan-Mass Challenge, a two day bike-a-thon to raise money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Who I Am:

My name is Jon Tilliss and I've had the privilege of getting to know Lisa and her family over the past year. I'm so excited to be a part of TEAM ELIZABETH and have this opportunity to support Lisa in her fight. The love and support that everyone has shown so far has been truly inspirational and I'm confident that we'll beat this together. I can't wait to wear Lisa's name as Susannah and I run 26.2 miles.

Team in Training:

Team In Training (TNT) is the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) groundbreaking charity sports training program. LLS is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The money you donate will benefit Lisa's fight and that of many others.
