Back in January when training began, June 5th seemed so far away and cycling 100 miles was daunting. But with just 12 days left before the big day, the excitement is building and I'm feeling ready to achieve this life-long goal of mine.
Wow!!! Can't believe I've raised 90% of my fundraising goal. How did that happen?? Oh, right, because of the amazing support of all of YOU!!! Love you all so so much!
Pedaling on.....

Only 2 months left until June 5th!
Wow!!! As of today, I have reached the halfway mark towards my fundraising goal! I am blown away by the level of support from all the wonderful, generous, and beautiful people in my life. You all make this possible for me! Thank you with all my heart.

Dear Friends and Family,
I recently made a big decision that I know will change not only my life, but the lives of many others.
On June 5, I will be riding 100 miles around Lake Tahoe and to Truckee and back with hundreds of other cyclists. Why?
1. Because I love cycling and this has been a personal goal of mine for many years
2. Because I want to help make a difference in people's lives
3. Because every 10 minutes someone dies from a blood-related cancer and I want to help find a cure
Team in Training (TNT) is the largest endurance training program in the U.S. More than 75% of the funds raised through TNT go to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, an organization dedicated to curing leukemia and blood-related cancers such as non-Hodgkin’s and Hodgkin’s lymphomas, myeloma, and myelodysplasia. These funds directly support cancer research at U.C. Berkeley, U.C.S.F., Stanford and pay for support groups, educational programs, and financial planning for afflicted families.
For more information on Team In Training or the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society please visit http://www.teamintraining.org/
My personal goal is to raise $3000. With your support, we CAN make a difference. Your contribution is 100% tax deductible. Please also check for matching funds through your employer.
I thank you in advance for all your love and support. This is a very exciting time for me and I hope you will choose to support me in my efforts to make a difference. No donation is too small - every dime counts!
In Peace and Good Health,
Cathy
