Teams are made up of individuals. Without them, there is no team.
Welcome to my Team In Training home page.
I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in the inaugural Nike Women's Half-Marathon in Washington D.C. (in April 2013) as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.
I'm not a fast runner (yet) and get down on myself for it, but recently I heard this quote, "I run for those who can't". So when I'm training or in a race and things start to hurt, I remember the people who would love to be in my shoes but are instead in a hospital bed, and it's been helping me focus and be thankful for every step and huff & puff I take.
Going to Washington D.C. has always been a dream of mine. It's going to be exciting to visit a place full of history (I'm really looking forward to going to the Smithsonian!), and I heard the race course for the half-marathon takes us by some of the popular landmarks in the area. Being able to participate in this race AND raise awareness and funds for the LLS is important to me.
I get really saddened hearing how cancer has sickened or taken away people's spouses, kids, friends, and other loved ones. I have lost several family members and friends to different types of cancers-breast, liver, brain, colon. And some of my family is currently still enduring treatment. All the people and their stories that have been shared with me have been my inspiration for this special race training and fundraising.
Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures. Any amount helps!
**I also want to say a special THANK YOU to my very first donors. My page was transferred from one TNT chapter to another, so the individual donor's names and dollar amounts were not able to be shown on the updated page:
Ron Saito $100-Ron is in the running group that goes out on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, he's fun to run with-giving helpful tips and entertaining me with conversations about the San Francisco Giants and past races he's done. He's been very encouraging of my running and Team in Training efforts. He donated in memory of Michael Blaufus, who passed away this year.
Special mention: John Blaufus -His son, Michael Blaufus, passed away in August of 2012, from leukemia. I didn't know Michael, but I'm dedicating my event training to him. He passed away at the young age of 44.
Damaris F. and Bryant Amba $25 each
