Racing To Save Lives


Holy crap- am I running a marathon? AGAIN??


Yes I am! Specifically- the Nike Women's Marathon in San Francisco on October 18th, 2009. The same marathon I ran last year, and swore I'd never do again, because it hurt too much. The same 26.2 miles that tore my feet apart and had me calling my mom, crying, at mile 19. The same 5 months of training that wreaked havoc on my muslces and forced me to learn how to spell "Glucosamine & Chondroitin." . And you know what?


It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.


So, I'm back- and I need your help. I'll be training as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. As a team, we're raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

I need to reach my fundraising goal of $2,500. Will you please help? All donations are tax deductible will help advance the LLS's mission to find a cure!


Thank you so much for your support! I will see you at the finish line. (Unless I'm making out with one of the firemen that greet us as we finish. Don't judge.)

    "Hi Sandy, Someone forwarded to me your video, "Confessions of a Non-Runner" - and I loved it! As a TNT alumna (8 seasons - 5 with the marathon team) who is not fundraising this season, I feel utterly compelled to donate! Thanks for the laughs. I'll be running Nike in October, too. Hope to see you there! Good luck, Mai Klaassen"

    "I think if you can run 16 miles in 95 degree heat today, the LEAST i can do is get you to your fundraising goal!! Best of luck in your training, and raising anything "above and beyond" the $2500 mark now!"
