Racing to Save Lives

I did it! On March 21st, I completed the Yuengling Shamrock Marathon! It wasn't an easy 26.2 miles, but every step was worth it. The whole race I heard shouts of "Go Team!" and "Thank you!" Thanks to the generous support of people like you, I was able to raise over $2000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Now that is an accomplishment we can all be proud of!

Thank you so much for supporting me and LLS. It has been a fantastic journey! By the way, the picture on my page is a photo of me heading towards the finish line with one of our awesome TNT coaches. Over the next few days, I'll be posting to my blog more details about my race weekend experience. Check it out at http://kostberg.blogspot.com/. Thanks again for your support!

    "Karen, I'm a college friend and fraternity sister of Laurel. Though you don't know me, I support you from afar! In 2004 I trained with LLS and ran the Honolulu Marathon - my first one - and what a thrill! It was an amazing journey and for a fantastic cause. Congratulations on your own personal journey and good luck with your training... it will be a memory of a lifetime, and possibly a life for a stranger. :) This stranger supports you and wishes you the best! GO TEAM! "
