Running to Save Lives...Anchorage Marathon Here I Come!


As you may know by now, I'm training for a marathon with Team In Training (that's right - I'm running the entire 26.2 miles), but I need your help.


No, you don't have to run it with me, but a donation of any size, big or small, will help those who are fighting leukemia and lymphoma. The funds go for research, patient support and hopefully someday - a cure!


I run because I'm thankful for my health and the health of my family. So when I'm asking for donations, it not for me - it's for those families that aren't so lucky.


Running 26.2 miles may sound like a long run to some people, but it's a heck of a lot easier than going through cancer treatment, and the side affect for me is that I've never been in better shape. I have lots of energy (which I sometimes need to keep up with my kids), and this year I turn 50!


This year is my 8th season with TNT, this will be my 14th marathon, and I'll be running it in Anchorage, Alaska, on June 18th -- ON MY 50TH BIRTHDAY!


I'll be celebrating my 50 years of good health, and I'll be doing my small part to help others make it to their 50th. Please help me make this one count.


You can donate on this page, safely & securely.


TOGETHER WE TRAIN TO BEAT CANCER!


Thank you,


Mark Blackwell
