Racing to Save Lives ~ 1 mile at a Time

HERE I GO AGAIN....

........ heading back to Disney and St. Pete for a CURE

Welcome to my Team In Training home page. As many of you have already figured out, I have lost my marbles. Last year I started my Marathon journey with the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and to date have raised over $6,000. Last year, I ran (walked) through injury to complete my first two 1/2 marathons in St. Petersburg, FL and W. Palm Beach, FL. This year I have already completed my first full marathon at Disney in Orlando, FL in addition to another 1/2 marathon (in the photo above I am crossing the finish line at the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon, March 2010). My goal is to continue to raise funds for The Leukemia Lymphoma Society to further their research until their is a cure.

"I run because I CAN and for all the individuals that can't"

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma & 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 heros on our team, & we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure! This seasons honored heros are Lisa & Michael. They endure more pain on a daily basis than we will in a whole season during practice. That is why we get out there. Until there is a cure, we will run, raise funds and continue to spread awareness about these horrible cancers.

As with my last season with TNT, I will be a mentor to help fellow teammates reach not only their fundraising goals but also help them attain their personal goal of completing an endurance event (many of them for their first time). This season I will be taking part in the Women's Running Magazine Half Marathon in St. Petersburg, FL for the second year and Disney's Inaugural Wine & Dine Half Marathon in Orlando, FL.

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training & help advance LLS's mission. Please help me to help my hero. Remember EVERY dollar counts and EVERY donation is Greatly Appreciated. - Thanks for your support!

TRAINING

• • • • • May 15th, Team Practice - since the Disney Princess I have not done ANYTHING, I needed the break from the last 8 months of doing back to back events. I am back now and ready for a new season. Today's practice was only a 30 minute run (thank god), as I need to get back into shape, but is was GREAT. Although hot, the new team looks great and we got in about 4 miles. This is going to be another AMAZING season.
