Running for San Fran in October

Running to Save Lives

UPDATE: I reached my fundraising goal! About 10 days ago, more wonderful supporters pushed me over the top. Now I'm four weeks away from the Nike Women's Half, and I'm more excited than ever. Much of that excitement is because of the more than 60 (?!) people that have donated to fight blood cancer and support me in this venture. I cannot thank you all enough.

Welcome to my Team In Training home page! I'm training as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. Please check out my blog, Help Meghan Run, as I chronicle my training and eating adventures.

I need your help as I raise $4200 for this cause. Please see the button at right to donate!

I am running the Nike Women's Half Marathon in San Francisco on October 18 for all those who cannot run. Yes, I will have to wake up early and train hard and eat right and raise money. But there are those people who must wake up early to go to the hospital every day. Those who have trouble eating well to nourish their sick bodies. Those who can't raise enough money to pay for their medical care. I am incredibly, incredibly blessed and I will use some of those blessings, my strong body and my strong mind, to run this half marathon and raise this money for those who desperately need it. I am running for myself as a personal challenge, and I am also running for a cause that is much bigger than I am.

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!

My newest fundraiser is now available! I combined my nutrition experience and love of creative, healthy cooking to make a nutrition guide & cookbook. With over 45 recipes in 40 pages, this cookbook is awesome. It's available as a full-color PDF (with LOTS of pictures) for only $10. Check out more information about the book here. Simply make your donation, and I'll send you the cookbook right away!
