Hello there. Welcome to my Team in Training (TNT) Fundraising Page. Thanks for stopping by!

Last year, I signed up with Team in Training to run my first ever half marathon, the Nike Women's Half Marathon, here in San Francisco. I signed up to help others, but also to help myself. I had a goal to run a half marathon for quite some time, so I decided to sign up with TNT to help me get there. I went from running 0 miles at a time to 13.1, and have since run 4 other half marathons and countless other races. This year I am at it again, but instead of 13.1 miles, I have committed to running the full course of the Nike Women's Marathon, 26.2 miles, to raise more funding for such a great organization.

Last year, I signed up with TNT for me.

This year, I signed up for my Dad.

Recently, my dad was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). CLL is a chronic leukemia with which patients can live for many years without showing any symptoms, so while its identifiable in routine blood tests, most people aren't affected by it right away.

Luckily for my dad, he is not currently showing symptoms, and continues to lead a normal, healthy life. But for others this is not the case.

I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I signed up once again to run the Nike Women's Marathon as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training.

Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and of course for CLL, so if my dad does start showing symptons, maybe with help from the money I've raised, there will be a cure.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures. It would me the world to me.
