Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
How far would you go to help others?
The Craziness continues! I recently completed the Sea Gull Century ride in order to raise funds to fight blood cancers. I'm going to swim 1.2 miles, ride my bike 56 miles then run 13.1 miles all in one day! Yes you read that right! As a member of Team In Training I will participate in the Avia Wildflower Triathlon on May 1, 2010. 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 my good friend and Sea Gull teammate Tammy Strausser and all individuals who are battling cancer. Our team honoree is Kailey. She was born October 16, 1999 and was diagnosed with leukemia in 2004. She is currently in remission.The striking thing about these blood cancers is the inordinate number of young people and children that are afflicted. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team InTraining and help advance LLS's mission.
I hope you will visit my web site often. Let me know if you have someone you would like me to add to my list of honorees.
Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your
support!
