Dear Family & Friends….

As many of you know, I have been involved with Team In Training since the fall of 2007. This fall season marks my 7th consecutive season with TNT and my 6th season as a member of the volunteer staff. I will never forget my first season; Diane the mentor who was assigned to me, the coaches who were so helpful, the structure, the workouts, and all the things I learned I could accomplish. I was training to run my very first half marathon!

Now, as I get ready to start my 7th season, I have accomplished 8 half marathons and 4 full marathons!! I have worked very hard; running anywhere from 10 to 40 miles per week, I’ve purchased approximately 10 pairs of running shoes, been injured, cheered on my teammates, and cried with happiness of what I had completed as well as in sorrow for the loss of life of people who have lost their battle with cancer.

My family and friends….I may work hard every day to be a stronger, faster runner, but nothing compares to the struggle cancer patients have EVERYDAY. I have remained involved with Team in Training and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society because not only do I get to do something healthy for myself, but I also have the opportunity to help those who need a cure for their cancer. YOU have the power to help them too!!

This season I am fund raising and hope to raise $2000 by August 31st to help in the fight against leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkins disease…this is where YOU have the power to help!!! Your donations will help me reach my goal and accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

Additionally, last year I had created a running blog…..IT’S BACK!!! Check in regularly to see how my training, fund-raising, and TNT season are going.
