Racing to Save Lives


Hi-



Welcome to my Team In Training home page. Thank you for coming by! First of all...I have done so well these first few weeks because of your generosity that I have changed my goal- I am attempting to raise $10,000 for this important cause. It's a lot of money I know...and as a marathon runner...I have a real problem not finishing...so here we go!



I'm training to run the Country Music 'Half-Marathon' event on April 25th as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. As a survivor of Non -Hodgkins Lymphoma, this means a lot to me personally.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.

I had tremendous care when I was ill and now I am running so all of the heroes, still battling out there, can get the same great care that I received. Thank you... 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.



Also a big thank you to all of you wonderful people on my list who have already given. I appreciate you more than you know. To those that were 'Anonymous,' I wish I knew who you were to thank you properly and personally.

God bless you- and just remember what my man Bruce Springsteen said: "No Retreat...No Surrender!"


Thank you!


Jim Asker

    "Jim, You exhibit such strength and courage in all that you do. It is so wonderful to watch you achieve your goal of crossing that finish line. God has blessed me with our "chance" meeting in San Antonio. I know we have many more roads to travel together. Just think this all started with a simple "hello!""
