Help me run a marathon and raise funds to fight cancer

I am running the Seattle Marathon this year to raise funds for "The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society", and to honor my dad who lost his battle to cancer in 2002.

This is big news for me as I have never engaged in an endurance event before.

To reach my goal I am sticking to a strict 5 day/week training schedule. In addition to my physical goal I am hoping to raise $4,000 by June for the Leukemia research.

Its an ambitious goal but with your help I can do it. I'm asking that you contribute a minimum of $50 (or $2 per mile), but hope that you will have a larger amount in mind for such an undertaking. Your contributions are 100% tax-deductible and at least 75% of that money goes directly towards Leukemia research, which is considered to be the best place to start on the road to finding a cure to all kinds of cancer.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity!
