Racing to Save Lives

Hello! It's me, Emily! (I'm the one in the middle, with the pink medal and the pigtails). Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I'm so excited to be training for the Marine Corps Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 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. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team.

Training for a marathon is hard work. It takes a lot of effort, endurance and discipline. But it also takes support! I have now run three marathons and couldn't have made it across the finish line without the love and support from my husband, my parents and my friends ("Oh! That's all those people in the picture!" Well, minus my parents, who were taking the picture).

This marathon is especially important to me. Not only will I be running in my fourth marathon, but I will also be raising funds for an important and wonderful cause. So I am asking for 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.

I hope you will visit my web site often. Check back frequently to see my fundraising progress and check out my blog for my training progress. Thanks for your support!
