My Fundraising Page

Dec 17, 2013

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

 

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

 

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.

 

I'm running for a cure.

I'm running because every four minutes, someone is being diagnosed with a blood cancer.

I'm running because every 10 minutes, someone has lost their battle.

I'm running because Leukemia is the most common form of cancer found in children and accounts for almost one third of all cancer deaths in children and adolescents.

I'm running because I'm the lucky one.

I'm running because I want more to be the lucky one.

I'm crossing the finish line to cross the finish line in finding a cure.

 

Will you help me in crossing that finish line?

Follow along on my journey through training and fundraising my keeping up with my blog http://dayslikethismymamasaid.blogspot.com/
