Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

I'm training to participate in the Houston Aramco 1/2 Marathon on January 30, 2011 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's lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives

I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers, and, in particular, my own beautiful daughter Dana. Dana was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on May 15, 2008, at the age of 2. We are happy to report that Dana has had the last of her treatments and is now CANCER FREE. This outcome would not have been possible without the research made possible in part by organizations like LLS, and generous donors to fund their efforts.

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. You can click on the "Donate Now" button on the right-hand side of the page to pay securely with a credit card. Check donations must be made out to "Leukemia and Lymphoma Society" and mailed to our home address, so that I can send them to LLS for processing. All donations are tax deductible, and if your company has a matching donation program, you can double or even triple your contribution.

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