Hi, I'm Mark Blackwell, and I'm a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. The goal is to cross the finish line in finding a cure for blood cancer!

I just did the San Diego Rock & Roll Marathon (my 13th marathon). A BIG THANK YOU for all of your support. I really appreciate it.

Now, I'm training with TNT for my 2nd event of the year...The Disneyland Half-Marathon on September 5th. It'll definitely be a fun run at the "happiest place on earth".

All of us with Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. Every FOUR minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer and every TEN minutes someone loses their battle.

We all have family, friends or co-workers who have been affected by blood cancer. I'm running in their honor. YOU can honor them with a donation!

Your help is needed to help those people going through treatment, and to get us that much closer to finding a cure for these blood cancers.

ANY amount you donate is greatly appreciated.
