Going Crazy Long to Cure Cancer


This year, I'm going a little crazy, but it's all for a good cause. In honor of my Dad, who thankfully is still in remission from lymphoma, I am going crazy long.


First, as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's "Team In Training," I am going to ride 100 miles on by bike through the mountains of North Carolina. By doing this, I will earn my "triple crown," which is awarded to those who have completed a marathon, a triathlon and a century ride with Team in Training.


After that, I'm going longer still. I will be racing in an Ironman triathlon, covering a total distance of 140.6 miles, including a 2.4 swim, a 112 mile bike ride, and a 26.2 mile marathon run.


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 these events in support of my Dad, in memory of my Grandmother Zell, who died of leukemia, and 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!


Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. You can do so by using the buttons on this site, or if you prefer, you may send a check, made out to LLS to me at my home address:
