Heroes go the distance.

And so do marathoners.

In 9 days I will run my fourth marathon. Ready or not, Nike Women’s Marathon is here and I still need your help...

How? Your generous donation will help make this marathon a success! Your donation will help save lives and isn’t that what heroes do? Heroes save lives by going the distance, by caring, by helping.

And the best thing is that heroes are everywhere - just look in the mirror. I firmly believe we all can be and are heroes.

Where the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society provides hope, it is the power of your donation that goes the distance and helps save a life.

Our honorees, my honorees, tell us how the donations help. Donations help with expensive medial co-pays, fund research to find new drugs that make it possible for a family to spend more time together, and even help with transportation costs so that those in the most remote areas can receive treatment.

Making a donation will feel good, because the quickest way to feeling extra good about ourselves is to help someone else.

Imagine being a hero...Will you go the distance with me?

...it is telling yourself to move-move-move when you believe your legs are dead.

......it rising at 5am on a Saturday because a whole team is counting on you to be there!

.........it is dedication to finish 26.2 miles for those who are unable.

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

As a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training, I am doing it again! Marathon #4 is on the schedule and I need your help to 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.
