Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

On June 7, 2009, I will ride 100 miles in America's Most Beautiful Ride, in Lake Tahoe. I have exceeded the event's required fundraising goal of $4,400 and have raised my personal fundraising goal to $5,500. Let's keep going the distance and continue to raise even more money to battle blood cancers! I'm asking for your support, and your committment to my fundraising efforts. The funds raised go to vital research and treatment programs for those affected by blood cancers.

Make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Every donation made to this cause takes us one step closer to a world without cancer.

I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers and in memory of my grandmother, Bernice Redmon.

The journey will be hard, the training challenging. But, the challenges I will face are nothing in comparison to the challenges that the cancer victims and their families face. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress with updated photos and information about how my training is going. I also encourage you to visit my blog at: http://tshankcycles.blogspot.com/
