Teams are made up of individuals. Without them, there is no team.


Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


I blame and thank Jen Magee and Stephanie Springer for their inspiration to get involved with LLS and Team in Training. I swore I wouldn't. I also met the folks here in the Orlando office and they are wonderful. So here I am.


Diagnosed, treated, and in remission of NH Diffused Large B-Cell Lymphoma December 2011- April 2012. All thanks to God who carried me and family through diagnosis, treatment, and now restoring my health. We had an army of prayer warriors and caregivers. For each of you, I am so thankful for. I am grateful for the care I received and continue to receive at FL Hospital Cancer Institute.


Like you, I hate cancer. I loathe it. Treatment has come a long way and it's because of research that is done. As a society there has to be something we are missing. I pray there is a cure to this nasty disease....and for the hundreds of thousands of people that will be out of job once there is no more cancer or chemo or any of that.


I am feeling pretty good. Not great, but good. I worry about every little itch, ache or pain...but my cells are repairing and I will learn to trust my body again. This has all been a very large lesson in life- my faith- and the words "By His stripes I am healed" have never meant more to me. I am healed! And I, along with my dear husband, will continue each day raising our 3 girls the best we can and look for ways to pay forward the many blessings we have received these past 6 months.


I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in a sports endurance event as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life by participating and with your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.


Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.
