The website doesn't show it yet, but I have made my fundraising goal!!!! With the help of my husband bootblocking for me and my friends on TEAM supporting me I have made it!
Thank you for everyone for supporting me in my efforts to help blood cancer patients and research!
I survived my 22 mile run yesterday! It was an amazing feeling, but even more so after participating in the Light the Night walk Friday night. Holding on to that gold balloon in memory of my Grandpa reminded me what I am doing this for. Cancer bites. It's as simple as that. Way worse than any hill I have run up or hot day I have melted through. Help me by donating to LLS to provide patient care and support local research. I want to see less gold balloons at Light the Night next year.
I can't believe that my training is almost halfway done! In honor of the halfway point I am having a sale on my Running with Flair Headbands! Collegiate bands are a $10 donation each and all others are 3 for a $15 donation or $7 each! Help me reach not only the halfway point of training, but also my goal of half of my fundraising commitment!
My experience with Team in Training has been amazing on so many levels and I have so many generous friends! Thank you!

I have never fundraised on a big scale, and when I made a personal commitment to raise $3500 for LLS I knew that it would be a big undertaking. I decided that it would be easier for me to do several smaller fundraisers instead of one huge event: I just don't have the time or connections. So I am doing what I know how to do and using the "skills" I have to raise money for LLS. I few months ago I had an idea to make nonslip headbands for running or any kind of workout. I loved to wear them, and I know they are popular. I was kind of dragging my feet about actually getting started with my venture, until I signed up for TNT. I thought my headbands, called RunningwithFlair, would be the perfect way for me to fundraise on my schedule. I am a mom of two adorable boys, one with autism, I work, and free time is at a premium. I can sew when the boys are sleeping and use the etsy.com and Facebook to promote my fundraising. My goal is to sell over 100 headbands and donate every dollar to LLS. Today I sent 3 headbands to a runner in Canada, my friends have purchased another 5. Only 92 more to go! Check out RunningwithFlair on Facebook and etsy .
Four weeks in, and I have to admit that I LOVE Team in Training: the friends I've met, the training runs, and the cause I run for. When I first signed up, I had a little bit of "I'm going to run a marathon" fever. It was way more excited about the race and the trip and didn't think too much about the reason I had chosen to do my first marathon with Team in Training. Then it got close to Father's Day and I started to think about my boys and how they never got to meet my Grandpa. Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma made sure of that. My involvement with Team in Training made this Father's Day a real "aha" moment for me. If I could help patients get the care they need and support research that treats blood cancers, then I would run hundreds of miles. While I am still VERY excited to run my first marathons and I'm looking forward to the trip, I know my "Why" . I run for my Grandpa and everyone else touched by leukemia and lymphoma. Please help me real my commitment of $3500 to support local blood cancer patients and research.
