My Fundraising Page
May 02, 2013
Thank you for visiting my Team In Training home page!
I'm at it again, fundraising to FIGHT blood cancers and training (...for the first time!) for an Ironman in 2013!!! This will be an amazing and challenging journey for me!
What is an Ironman? An Ironman is the ultimate challenge- 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run (total = 140.6 miles)...Yes, all on the SAME day with a 17-hour cut-off time! YIKES! Our team will begin training in November and will continue all the way through race day on September 22, 2013 for the inaugural Ironman Lake Tahoe. Yup, we're also adding an additional challenge of doing all of this with an elevation of over 6,000 feet!!! By race day, I will have swum, biked, and run thousands of training miles in honor of those battling blood cancers.
How You Can Help
Of course, I can never do it without your help. Team in Training WILL help me get my body prepared with fabulous coaches and teammates... But I hope YOU will join the Team (without having to swim, bike, run your tail off!) and help support a worthy cause.I know everyone has their own causes dear to their hearts, just as LLS is dear to mine, but if you have room to support one more, I would truly appreciate it. Just click on the link to your right, or feel free to send along a check made out to LLS. Just give me a shout-out if you need my address.
My personal fundraising challenge is to raise $7,000! I am grateful for your generous, tax deductible contribution of any amount, large or small. Your gift will be used to support research, patient services, and educational programs. It will inspire me as I train. More importantly, it will help cancer patients and their families.
You’ve supported me for years, through all my endeavors, and I am asking for your help to reach this, the ultimate athletic goal. (And perhaps your support should increase in direct relation to how crazy you think I am.)
LLS Fun Fact: For over 60 years LLS has invested more than $875 million in developing better cancer treatments.
Together, We Can Make a Difference!
Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.
Stay tuned for special fundraisers throughout the year, and regular updates on training, fundraising, and life.
