Support Donella's Triathlon for Cancer Research

Hello everyone! I'm going to do it again!

Last year, to help raise money for cancer research, my husband, Tony, and I completed our first olympic distance triathlon. Since, that time we have both become part of the The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training supporting volunteer staff. This past summer I spent several months as team mentor, helping prepare new participants for their first olympic-distance triathlon. This upcoming winter, Tony will be a training captain for the triathlon team. Just as everyone has helped us complete our first triathlon, this time, we wanted to help them get to the finish line.

To continue to do our part, we are going to fundraise harder, train harder and race longer. We have decided to train and fundraise for an Ironman distance triathlon. An Iron distance consists of a 2.4 mile open swim, 112 mile bike ride, and 26.2 mile run all within the 17 hour time limit. (Crazy, I still can't believe we signed up for this!)

In the next couple of months we will be swimming, biking, running and fundraising with fellow teammates from the Bay Area. By doing this triathlon we are raising money for cancer research and spreading awareness in hopes to help find a cure. We are completing this event in loving memory of my mother in-law (Tony's mom), who battled cancer for seven years, and in honor of all individuals who are battling cancer. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the finish line. I could really use your help. Will you please support me by donating?
