Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page.

I'm training to participate in an endurance event 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!

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. Look at the bottom of this page for updates on my progress.

Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your

support!
