Racing to Save Lives



Thank you for coming to my Team In Training home page.



I will be running my first marathon on October, 26th, 2008 in Washington D.C. as a participant of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team in Training.



When I was in nursing school at the University of Iowa, I had the chance to do one of my clinical rotations in Oncology. The patients I cared for on this unit were incredibly strong and inspirational, and I will definitely be keeping them in mind when I am running the 26.2 miles.



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 all individuals who are battling blood cancers. 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 In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Any amount, big or small, would be greatly appreciated!



I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!





UPDATE:

If you want the chance at winning $100, you can enter the GUESS MY RACE TIME contest. Make a $10 donation and send an email to me at kim.mccoy.bsn@gmail.com with your guess of how fast I can run the 26.2 miles and you'll be entered to win. Whoever is closest without going over will win! If you have further questions, just send me an email! Thanks for your support!
