Turn CouchPotatoWoman Into IronWoman!

Aug 25, 2010

Help me TRAMPLE cancer like the thoroughbreds at Churchill Downs, where I will be ending my race at the Louisville Ironman!!


All proceeds are tax-deductible to you, and will go directly to the fight against cancer! If you'd like to follow my progress, please check out http://www.beabondgrrl.com/blog/ & if you'd like more info or to send me a photo of you/your honoree for my Honoree Wall, please send to sandy (at) goodsolutions.com.


Buy a mile or two (one for yourself and a friend!) of the 140.6 available, and you will be personally helping build a path that will bridge me to the finish line and MORE importantly - help improve the lives of cancer patients!


How it Works

1. Make a donation here: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sf/louisir10/sshepar0lb


2. Your name (or "anonymous" if you prefer) will go below.


3. Every donor will get a greeting card every 3 weeks or so detailing my progress. And then I will send you my "chip number" so that you can follow me on August 29th on Ironman.com - and know I am thinking of YOU when your mile(s) come up!


IMPORTANT!!!

If your company matches, email me (goodsolutions1@yahoo.com), let me know, and we'll either add another mile to your name or upgrade it accordingly!


Remember all donations are 100% tax deductible and will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help find a cure for blood cancers and improve the quality of life of cancer patients and their families! Because WE CAN make a difference!

"Hi Sandy - best of luck with the Ironman. We lost a colleague in the barrel industry two weeks ago. Even though I didn't know him well - I feel the need to honor him and to do something to fight leukemia . It is not important what part of your journey I sponsor - but it would make sense if it was the bike part since I'll be doing a century ride in the fall myself. Just turned 1/2 century old so it makes sense to do 100 - right? Say hello to H!! Take care! Annette (from the Peru trip - in case you were wondering)"

"Tony Alvarez was supposed to be best man at my wedding. He made the rehearsal dinner but was too worn out from the chemo to make the wedding. Tony eventually died from the lymphoma that ravaged his body. I was a pallbearer at the funeral. That was almost 15 years ago and I still miss Tony today. Thank you for what you are doing Sandy.
