Tri for a Cure

I have found that among its other benefits,

giving liberates the soul of the giver.

swim, bike, run: to save lives

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my Team In Training home page.

I'm training for the Nation's Triathlon in Washington D.C. as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. My fellow team members and I are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. My goal to complete this event is in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are heroes and an inspiration to me as I swim, bike and run.

The Nation's Triathlon is September 14th and my goal is to raise $5,000. I want to use everything God has blessed me with to help others. Please think about using what you have to help us get one step closer to Team in Training's ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please consider joining me in this endeavor by donating to help fund cancer research, patient care, and education.

Feel free to visit this web site or my training blog, often. Check back frequently over this summer to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
