Racing to Save Lives



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



I'm training to participate in an endurance event called The Nike Women's Half Marathon held in San Fransisco this Fall as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. 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 battling blood cancers.

Specifically I am running this event this Fall in honor of my grandfather, Carl R. Marlow, who is in his 2nd year of battling this horrible disease known as Lymphoma. Because of his age and heart condition there is very little that can be done to treat his cancer. We are very lucky that he is still with us and he continues to fight to stay with us. My grandfather, along with the many others who battle blood cancers are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!



My story is one of lofty ambition and gritty determination as up to the beginning of March, I had never ran in my life. But life has a way of helping us get off the couch and moving, which led me to my 1st 5K run with only 4 wks of training.



That's when I learned about Team In Training and what a wonderful organization it was and how supportive they were to the participants. And how incredible is it that I can be personally involved in helping fight my grandfather's disease by running!



This will be my first Half Marathon event, which is over twice the distance of my original goal I set for the Fall, a 10K. But after meeting with my Team In Training Coach and thinking about my grandfather seeing pictures of me cross the finish line, I knew I had to do it this Fall, I could not wait!



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!
