Help Find a Cure for Melanoma!

Help Find a Cure for Melanoma!
Feb 02, 2009 by Brandon Keefe

My Dad, Gary Keefe, diagnosed with metastasized Melanoma in Sept, 2008.



I'm training to raise money for the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training (which also works to find a cure for Hodgkin's disease and myeloma).


I'm raising money by training for the Wildflower Olympic triathlon, May 3rd: .93 mi swim, 24.8mi bike ride (over some pretty hefty central coast hills), followed by a 6.2mi run. I've already strated training six days a week, rain or shine to get ready for the tri.


You can view the triathalon course here.


You can help! Please make a donation to support LLS's mission of finding a cure to all forms of blood cancer.
