Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I have started my training and I am running 2-3 miles 4 days a week and a longer day on Saturdays with my team. Those of you who know me know that this is huge, as I have NEVER been a runner! I am really enjoying the time and the challenge. I am pushing my body to do things it has never done and it amazes me what I really can do. (I am hoping that I can look like the woman in the picture by April, happy and stong!)

I'm training to participate in a half marathon, 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. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

I am doing this for several reasons. One, I want to get in better shape and what better way to do it! Two, I have been touched by several friends who have had their own battles with cancer, one is a little girl named Grace who is only 6 years old. Further research and funding can help them and their families. And lastly, I had cancer as a child and lived to be able to share my life with others. This is one more way I can share that is much bigger then just me.

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!
