Hi everyone, and welcome to my Team In Training home page.

Laura and I have decided to ride 100 miles (on a bicycle!) in Palm Springs this February with Team In Training. Team In Training is a non-profit organization that works with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to raise money for all tpyes of blood cancers. Money raised goes toward research, patient counseling and support groups.

As many of you know, both Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins Disease have affected several people that are very important in my life.

Laura's mom, Kathie, was diagnoced with Hodkin's disease when Laura was younger. She defeated the disease and lived in remission for several years. She now lives with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and is doing great.

One of Laura's best friends , Jennifer (Eggers) Perrault, was diagnoced with Hodgkins disease in college. Jennifer was able to baddle through chemo and has been in remission for a few years now.

Jordan Wilmes is a friend of mine from childhood tennis and we have continued to be friends through college in SLO. He was recently diagnoced with Hidgkins disease, but was able to fight through treatments and complications to thrive today.

Laura and I are participating in the Tour de Palm Springs in honor of people that have battled through so much more than a 100 mile bike ride. Even wearing spandex in public is worth raising money and awareness for something so important.

I ask that youplease donate to our team page (link on the upper right side of this page). Combined, Laura and I are hoping to raise $5,400 for this very important cause. Laura and I will be updating our team page every week to let you all know how our training is going.

Thanks in advance for all of your support!!!
