“All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The ‘fight to the finish’ spirit is the one characteristic we must possess if we are to face the future as finishers”.
Henry David Thoreau
Racing to Save Lives
Welcome to my Team In Training home page, y'all!!
On August 7th, 2011 I will be running with my great friend Meredith Sherman (pictured above) in the Providence Rock N’ Roll Half Marathon as a member of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training Program. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of my Uncle, Bobby Warren, who lost his battle to cancer recently, and the brave heroes and families who are currently in the fight for their lives or the lives of a loved one. But I can't do it alone!! I 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 won't be able to complete my 13.1 miles without you!! Here is the link if you would like to forward it to potential donors:

Or checks can be made payable to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Please do not send any donations to paycor or the society office because I will not receive the financial credit needed to meet my race goal. Checks should be sent to:

98 East Water Street
Taunton, MA 02780
I thank you in advance for your time and support. Even if a financial donation is not an option at this time, I would like to offer other ways such as donating product or services that your company provides. These items will be part of a raffle or silent auction which will be scheduled to take place.
Also, please be sure to check back often to see my progress!! Your words of support and encouragement are just as important as your donations!!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope to see all of you on August 7th, cheering me on!!
