Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


So you heard? Yep, I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training.

My goal is to run 13.1 miles on 10-10-10 in the Portland 1/2 marathon and at the same time to raise funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

Why am I training to run over 13 miles? I am running in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers and in memory of my older brother Kevin who lost his life to Leukemia 25 years ago this year.

(Kevin and me dancing right before Kevin was diagnosed)

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.


I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. You can also follow my daily activity by visiting my blog RunStrongRun.wordpress.com. Thanks for stopping by!! Hope to see you soon.
