Racing to Save Lives



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



Thank you to everyone who has helped me reach the fundraising minimum set by Team in Training. I have set a personal goal of raising Ten Thousand dollars ($10,000) by the time of the event. I will be holding a bike raffle and doing other fund raising events over the next several months as I prepare for the event. Please forward my email to as many people you know to help facilitate reaching this goal.





I'm training to participate in the 3 State 3 Mountain Challenge event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. This event is a 100 mile cycling challenge across the mountains of Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. As many of you know Karen, my wife, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in July of 2008. She is doing well and is half way through her treatment schedule. We are looking for a positive out come after she finishes her treatments. I was unable to take part in the Breast Cancer events because of Karen's treatment schedule and have chosen this event to honor her and also raise funds for cancer research. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop all cancers from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of her and all individuals who are battling cancer. 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.



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