So... Why are you doing this?

May 16, 2011

.

I've always been a bit envious of runners, and have always wanted to be able to run distance like my friends did or like those amazing people from the heartwrenching miracle stories did.


So, I started running, but only toyed with the idea of doing an endurance event until last month when it no longer became a race, but a way to show my support and love for my Dad. Last month, he was diagnosed with Leukemia and rushed off to the Stanford Hospital.


It was at that point that this race became very real to me, and, judging from his reaction when I requested permission to ask for money in his name, it meant a lot to my dad too.

Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. 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 all individuals who are battling blood cancers. 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. Thanks for your support!
