Beating Blood Cancer!!!

Nov 18, 2010

Yeppers--After taking a year off fundraising and racing for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, I'm back and doing it again.


"Why?' you ask??


Very simply--for the cause .... finding a cure for blood cancers.


In the past I have completed triathlons and a century bike rides, raising close to $25,000 in the process. I didn't do it alone; I had help from my friends.....you. And in that time, research has brought us closer to that cure. Survival rates are way up, especially for the children!!


So, I am asking you again to support me and the ongoing research--to be a part of something bigger-- and help find a cure.


For my part, in addition to my monetary donation, I will be pulling on my sneakers and running the Oklahoma City Memorial marathon.


Let me make myself perfectly clear, here....


I don't do 'running'....cycling, yes....running no. So this is a huge stretch for me. Heaven and earth will move as I train these thunder thighs to become sleek pumping pistons that will carry me across the finish line in May.


In the months to come, I will be running more miles than I care to think about. But like finding a cure for cancer, each race begins with a single step....so join me on this journey. Take that first step with me; make a donation that will help stop this deadly disease. You never know whose life you may touch.


In the meantime, I will blog (this could be another word for 'whine) about my adventures pounding the pavement.


Thank you for making the difference~~


Sue

"You're doing great, Sue! If your foot's bothering you too much, try to back off and do a little crosstraining by spinning or rowing. You're gonna do great!"
