Racing to Save Lives!


Thanks for visiting my Team In Training home page.


I'm training to participate in the Philadelphia (Olympic distance) Triathlon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team in Training. Though I have competed in many similar events, this is not just another race for me. My wife, Jen, was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma and is currently undergoing treatment. Research and advances in medicine funded by LLS have played a big role in the successes of fighting this (and other) blood cancers today, but there is much work to be done. Jen will beat this disease, but others aren't so lucky.


All of us on Team in Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am competing in this event not only in honor of Jen, but all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!


Please consider making a 100% tax deductible donation to support my participation in Team in Training and help advance LLS's mission.


Be sure to check back frequently to see my and Jen's progress. You can also read about my fundraising and training at: www.rmstrainingblog.blogspot.com


I hope you will visit my site often and follow my blog.


Thanks so much for your support!!!

-Ryan

"Ryan and Jen, We are so proud of your efforts and strength through the whole process. Praise God on Jen's remission and good luck Ryan in Phili! "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air." 1 Corinthians 9:24-26"
