On Monday, December 6th 2010 my Grandmother passed away. In her memory, this Summer Season I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. Leah Glick was a wonderful Grandmother and a regular supporter of all of my charitable efforts. With Leah as my role model, I too have made an effort in my life to help others. This season, I will work harder and dig deeper pushing myself to complete a triathlon and raise money in order to help.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help prevent 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 in support of my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. If you are unable to contribute to my fundraising efforts please keep me in your thoughts as I train and utimately complete my first Olympic Distance (0.93 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike and 6.2 mile run) Triathlon at the Wildflower Triathlon on May 6th, 2012.
