Raising funds, finding a cure, saving lives...one mile at a time



News Flash! April 7, 2010: I am training to complete the full marathon!

Welcome and thanks for visiting my Team In Training home page! Please keep reading to the end to see what I am doing:) Visit my blog to track my training progress-

http://elaine-walkingjourney.blogspot.com/

Back in 2007 when I announced to my dear friend here in Miami that I signed up for a half marathon, she immediately questioned my physical ability by asking, "with your two left feet?" Well, I did meet my goal of completing that self imposed physical challenge and now I am ready to take on a different challenge. This time around, I'm not thinking of my "two left feet" or aches and pains after a long training session, my little discomforts are nothing compared to what cancer patients and their families face head- on daily...


I'm training to participate in an endurance event (half marathon on June 6, 2010 in San Diego) as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in memory of my sister-in-law, Devi Jean Rampersaud Spencer, in honor of Dominic Clay, and all individuals who are battling blood cancers. My sister-in law fought valiantly to conquer her battle with Leukemia, but lost it in 1997. Five year old Dominic is in the maintenance phase of his treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, and barring any major setbacks, his treatment will end in November 2010 (check blog for more on Dominic). They are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!


May I please count on you to make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission?


Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress.

Thanks for your support!


Send me your encouraging and positive thoughts- and your donations:)

Many, many thanks to those who have already contributed.
