Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to my Team In Training home page!


Last summer, thanks to supportive friends and family like you, I trained and raised money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and successfully completed my first half marathon, beating my goal time by nearly 15 minutes. Since then, I've been volunteering with Team in Training as a mentor for the Spring team, helping others achieve their goals and work towards a cure for blood cancers.


Over the last year I've met many survivors and patients, and they've touched me in ways I can barely describe. Brave. Tenacious. Giving. These are just a few of the words I would use, but they barely scratch the surface.


I've had so much fun, and been so inspired through my work with TNT and LLS, I've got to do it again! So I'm going to do the Rock n Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon again this Labor Day, and I'm going to beat my time for last year!


You or someone you know has been touched by cancer. I can say that with certainty because statistically it's almost a certainty. While the funds I'm raising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society are used for research to find cures for blood cancers, and to support and educate patients, an advance in any area of cancer research helps all areas of research. No discovery is too small, nor is any donation.


Please consider helping me with a 100% tax-deductible contribution to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Speaking of taxes, my birthday is April 15th, and I'm asking all of my friends and family to donate in lieu of gifts or cards. So please, give what you can, and know that you have not only my love and thanks, but the gratitude of patients, survivors and their families everywhere.


When you make your donation, please use the notes area to leave me a message and let me know who you're honoring with your donation...I'll add their name to the back of my jersey on race day, and do 13.1 miles for them!


Love,

Leslie
