Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to my Team In Training home page.


Dear Friends:


I'm writing to let you know that I am training to participate in my newly adopted town of San Diego's Rock n' Roll marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. That's 26.2 very long miles, and I'm hoping to do it with your help.


All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I personally have been involved with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for many years because I lost to my father to Leukemia when I was 15 and he was 49 (that's us in the photo a year before he died). My father had chutzpah. He was someone who could talk to anyone, and charm the socks off them with his Midwestern accent, intelligence and great dry wit. He read about five newspapers a day (he was a newspaper man originally, after all), fell in love with photography, was a fan of hiking and biking and museums and plays and New York. He would laugh when I cried until I laughed myself.


PLEASE make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. The money that LLS is raising supports researchers to spend long hours at the lab, trying to find a cure for cancer.


I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress on training for the marathon on June 6th. San Diego is a great place to see too, and what better reason to visit? I am also posting updates on my training on my blog at Kelly Moncure and twitter kmoncurephoto. Thank you so much for your support and love- I need it!


With love and respect,

Kelly
