Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training Dublin Marathon home page.

I'm training to participate in the Adidas Dublin Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training on October 28th, 2008. 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 completing this event in honor of family, friends and all individuals who are currently battling, or survivors of blood cancers and celebrate the lives of those who have passed on. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

When competing in the 2007 Lifetime Fitness Triathlon, I was able to raise $3,446. That encouraged me to fundraise and compete in The Kings Trail Triathlon in Maui Hawaii on June 8th, 2008, where I was able to raise $5,300. The positive responses that I have received with all the donations have inspired me to challenge myself again by taking on the ultimate race, the Marathon and to raise even more money for Cancer treatment, patient aid, education and eventually a cure. My goal for the marathon training is $5,200. That is a total of $10,500 in one year and a Team in Training fundraising total of $13,946. I hope to exceed that amount for an even $15,000! I of course need your support to make this dream a reality!

In addition to the months of training for the Marathon, I am willing to make a financial commitment to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society myself. If I am able to earn the minimum $5,200 required, I will make a 10% matching contribution of the total raised. So, if you do the math, I will chip in at least an extra $520!!!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
