Derek's Fundraising Page

Racing to Save Lives



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



I'm training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. I will be running the San Antonio Rock and Roll Half Marathon on November 16th. 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 fighting blood cancers, but especially for my mom, Tammy, who is currently battling Hodgkin Lymphoma. 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 (any amount will help!) to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.



I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!

    "Hello Derek, We've never met but your Mom and I spent some time together growing up. Your Grandparents, Mary and Don, were very good to me as a child and Mary's Mother, Hazel, was my Godmother. My mother and Hazel spent many days as a "Lucy and Ethel" team. Please give my best to your family. Take care and Good Luck. Rene (Cealy's sister)"
