TRI-ing for a CURE

Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

As you may know by now, I'm training to participate in the Pacific Grove Triathlon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. That's a one mile swim, 25 mile bike ride, and 6 mile run!!! Talk about endurance!

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!

I'm training for the angels too, the ones carrying me on their wings up the big hills and on the long runs. Learn more about these beautiful angels on my blog.

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.

For regular updates on my training, fundraising, photos, and thoughts please stop in and visit my blog at http://bleach226.wordpress.com

Check out the new picture... RACE DAY! I'll be blogging about my experience up at Pac Grove soon, so stay tuned! In the mean time, please remember that you can continue to make contributions toward LLS through donations here on the site, by cash (in person... don't send cash in the mail), or by check (in person or mail it to me). It's never too late to participate!!

"Happy Birthday Sue!!!, I praise god for the advancements that have been made in treating leukemia. My late husband, Herb, died from acute myelogenous and acute lymphocytis leukemia. The double whammy was too much for doctors to treat. He got all the available treatments during the 10 months between diagnosis and death. He died 6-5-05 at age 76. His full name is herbert W. Keener, Sr. I am a widow living on my social security check, so I give to my church and some mission work, but no longer give to other charities. I am involved in prayer ministries and will pray for your complete healing to take place here on earth. Thanks for being a great inspiration to others. i admire your energy level. I graduated from high school with your mother. Blessings, Ruth "
