Completing 40 Races During the 40th Year of My Life to Help Put More Candles on LLS Patient's Birthday Cakes
In September 2008, I finished my last race of the season, a Sprint Tri just south of Charlotte and I decided that I wanted to create a year long celebration to support a mission I care deeply about. I wanted to do something that combined my love of sports and races with the passion I have for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, their Mission and incredible work.
Starting in May 2009, I began a series of 40 races, culminating with the 40th race on or around my 40th Birthday in 2010. I am very fortunate to have wonderful family and friends who support me and the ability to complete a variety of races and distances. My dream is to combine my athletic abilities and celebrate the wonderful people in my life by making my 40th year one where I truly give back and help those who are battling blood cancers - and of course honor those who have battled and lost.
I have set a goal of raising at least $40,000 during the next year. I am reaching out to request your support; financially and athletically and to create excitement, energy and have some fun. I invite you to join me in the excitement and fun by joining me for a race or two, or more! Let's celebrate our friendship, get in shape, complete a few races, HAVE A BLAST and most importantly, help find a cure for Leukemia and Lymphoma.
I intend to complete:
- 20+ running events from 5K to Marathon,
- 7 +/- cycling events, and
- 10+ triathlons from Sprint to possibly the big enchilada, a Full IronMan.
This way - you have a variety of races to choose from.
Several of these races will be Team in Training supported events, such as
- Tahoe Century Ride, June 7, 2009
- Tri Latta Sprint Tri, June 14, 2009
- Nation's Tri, September 13, 2009
- Kiawah Half Marathon, December 13, 2009
- Just to name a few...
I have created a blog to document the journey I take and to honor the many wonderful people who support me and more importantly the honor patients that I will be completing these races in honor of.
You can read my blog, which includes information about the reasons, the races, my training and more by clicking here: http://seans40in40withlls.blogspot.com
I would be thrilled to hear from you, to answer questions and to provide details on some of the races where you might want to join me. The races will be all across the US to a degree, with many located near home here in Charlotte, NC.
Please feel free to email me at: 40in40wlls@gmail.com
I am really excited about this challenge and each and every event. If you want to join me and have a favorite Run, Ride or Tri - let me know - maybe we can do it together!
Please spread the word and if you are so inclined, send this information on to all your friends. The link to do that is right at the top of the page.
Best wishes, and we appreciate your support.
