Together, We Can Save Lives!

Take this moment to make a difference.

Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

I'm training to run the Kaua'i Half Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. 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 -- as tough, courageous, and resilient people as you'd ever hope to meet -- and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the LLS mission. I know circumstances might be difficult, but that is precisely why it is so important for you to contribute. When times turn tough, the least among us -- the poor, the elderly, the sick, the disabled -- are the first to feel the impact.

If we are to save the lives of blood cancer patients, and one day find a cure, then we are the ones we've been waiting for. Here is what your donation will do:

• $5 will pay for sending a newly-diagnosed patient information about support and their disease.
• $25 covers a single prescription co-payment.
• $35 pays for transportation for rural patients to receive treatment at a comprehensive cancer center.
• $40 pays for sending a comprehensive information packet to children with cancer.
• $50 covers the cost of a CT scan.
• $75 pays for tissue typing to become a bone marrow donor.
• $100 provides three patients access to an information teleconference.
• $150 allows five patients to make a First Connection with a trained peer volunteer.
• $200 funds one Family Support Group meeting of 9-15 participants.
• $500 gives a patient one year of financial assistance for transportation and co-pays.
• $1000 supports one week of salary for a blood cancer researcher at UCSF, Stanford, or UC Berkeley.

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you check back often and see that thermometer rise. Your support makes a difference!
