How far have we come? How far will I go?

In 2008 we raised an extraordinary $11,895 and then I ran 26.2 miles.

In 2009 we raised an amazing $6,123 and then I swam .9 miles, biked 25 miles and ran 6.2 miles.

That's a total of $18,018 and 58.3 miles (not including all of the training miles!) - all to help in the fight against cancer.

For 2010? How about we try to make it an even $25,000 (or more) and I'll do this:

swim 1.2 miles

bike 56 miles

run 13.1 miles

That's right, I've committed to completing the Wildflower Triathlon again, but this time I'm shooting for the Half Ironman. And all I need from you is a little help.

I'm once again training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training.

In case you hadn't heard, almost one year ago I started working for LLS and Team in Training and I have become even more inspired to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I have met so many wonderful people - wonderful people who have been unfairly touched by cancer. So this one is for all of you, and all of them - those that are winning the battle, and those that have not been so lucky.

Training hasn't been easy. But lately, each time I start to doubt whether or not I'll be able to do this, I remind myself that it's more about the mission than the miles. It's about finding a cure for all cancers. The money you've helped me raise continues to get us closer to the day when permanent remission will be a reality for all those who've been diagnosed.
