Steve's continuing journey to Tri to save lives.....

Hey Everyone,

So I completed the Rhode Island Half Ironman this past Sunday and I am happy to report it was a major success. I was there with a group of friends, mainly old TNT'ers, who also completed the triathlon in triumphant style, many setting personal best times. As for me, I improved over my Jerseyman time by 16 minutes and accomplished the unexpected goal of completing it in under 5 hours. My final official time was 4 hours, 58 minutes and 43 seconds.

I want to thank those who came up and cheered, those who sent words of encouragement prior and to all those who have supported me and the cause of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It was such an amazing day and as of today you have helped me raise over $6,200 to help fight blood cancer.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

So the next goal on my horizon is to race the Philadelphia Marathon on November 20th and try to beat my PR of 2:58:06. It is no small task as med school starts on August 24th, so we'll see, but if you still would like to donate and continue to help fight blood cancer, please feel free, and I'll see you in the park!
