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 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!
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
If you would like me to train and compete in honor or in memory of someone you care about, please email me their name(s) at myjump4joy@yahoo.com. I will add their name(s) to my training and race shirts and to special honoree bracelets worn throughout the season
I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support! Training Highlights
