Special thanks to my team, my friends, my BM and my family for supporting every step of the way.
Thanks to everyone who donated online, bought chocolates and bandanas and/or went to the events I organized. Your donations were a key to our success. The Broward/Dade team raised 90K for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You were all part of that! So thanks again for you support.
All this journey was an awesome experience. I really recommend it to anyone who likes making a difference, supporting a great cause and exercising... :o)
I will do it again soon. GO TEAM!
Thursday's YOGA AND SPA EVENT was AWESOME.
Thanks to everyone who went and made a donation to support the cause. I really hope you had a great time doing yoga, had nice massages and facials, and enjoyed the food and the drinks. Congratulations to the winners of the raffle... GREAT PRIZES!!!
Here's a great picture...
NEXT EVENT:
DINNER AT NOVECENTO OF KEY BISCAYNE Wednesday, April 20th. Enjoy a 3 course menu and a glass of wine for $39 and proceeds will go to The LLS. Best place to eat and a great cause. Don't miss it!

So it’s week 6 since I started training with the Team in Training… and the good news is that I have reached HALF of my goal for this season!! 51% down and 49% to go. That’s why I’m HAPPY! At first I never even thought I could reach the first $100. And now I’m so sure I’m going to meet my goal and help find a cure for blood cancers.
Less than 2 months from the triathlon and to reach my goal and I’ve been doing a lot of things to get donations: sent letters and emails, called some people, sold chocolates and YOGA BANDANAS (super cool, btw). I'm also organizing two awesome events…
1. Spa and Yoga for the Well Being: Thursday April, 14th at the Mayfair Hotel & Spa in Coconut Grove. Starts at 6pm with a YOGA class and then you can enjoy the Spa Open House, a complimentary drink, a raffle with awesome prices, the pool, music and much more. You can’t miss this great event; it’s only for a $20 donation!!!! So you will feel good in SO many ways.
2. Dinner @ Novecento: Wednesday April, 20th at Key Biscayne’s Novecento. Starts at 9pm with a delicious 3 course menu and a drink for $39. Then you can stay and enjoy with friends and family in an awesome restaurant.
I’m SO grateful for everyone’s generosity. My friends and family have been great and very supportive. People on the street are always willing to buy chocolates for the cause, and sometimes they just give the money and don’t take the chocolate. WOW! I love when that happens… you can tell how great some people are.
You shouldn’t miss these GREAT events. You’ll have fun AND contribute to a great cause. But if you can’t go, don’t worry… You can still make a donation here… :o)
Thanks for all your support ... I'll keep you posted!!!
It´s week THREE since I started raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and since I officially started training for the triathlon. So far, so good!
Thank you so much to the people who have supported me, by donating money and/or sharing with other friends and family what I am doing. Thanks to the support, I get more and more convinced that my participation in Team in Training is going to help millions who are suffering from cancer. I´m so happy I joined the Team.
To those who haven’t yet donated, don´t worry, you still have time to do so here and now. Also you can be a part of a lot of fundraising events that my teammates and I are organizing. Go, enjoy with friends and help cure cancer. That’s a good deal…
A lot of events are coming soon… happy hours, yoga classes, spa, drinks and food!!!! I´ll keep you all updated.
Today was the 3rd day training with my teammates. I woke up at 5:30am and drove to meet them all. Super early for a Saturday!!!! I know. But it was a pretty good training. When you are swimming, biking, and running to make a difference in many people´s life, it´s totally worth it :o)
About next week’s training goals:
SWIM - More distance: 1.500 meters (no stopping)
BIKE - More days: at least two days during the week
RUN - More speed: still same distance (3 miles)
YOGA - I LOVE YOGA… so keep doing it!!!
OK, sounds like a plan! I’m ready for next week.
Thanks again for your support!
GO TEAM!
Remember to donate and to tell your friends to donate as well…
Stay tuned there is more to come.
