Racing to Save Lives

A million thank yous to my amazing Aunt Donna and Uncle Jim who arranged, donated jewelry, and did all the work for an eBay auction benefiting LLS! They were able to raise over $300 for me!


Also thank you to Uncle Ben for coming all the way to New Orleans to support me in my race! Also, thanks to my wonderful mom who supports me in all of my endeavors and who I would be lost without!


Thank you to everyone who supported me and to those who donated! I couldn’t have done it with out you!




Welcome!


I'm training to participate in an the New Orleans 1/2 Marathon 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, and in memory of my cousin Dusty Smythe. 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.


The Power of Your Contribution:


* $750 Provides a leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma patient with financial aid to support medical treatment and to travel to medical appointments for one year.

* $500 Allows (10) patients to logon to a webcast and hear the latest information in treatment for their disease.

* $250 Provides a Family Support Group for one year.

* $150 Will train (6) survivors to make First Connections with a newly diagnosed patient.

* $100 Helps supply laboratory researchers with supplies and materials critical to carrying out their search for cures.

* $75 Average cost of tissue typing to become a bone marrow donor.

* $50 The cost of a co-payment for a CT scan.

* $40 Will educate (4) school employees on how to ease the transition back to school for a child with cancer.

* $25 Covers a single prescription co-payment.

    "What a great way to raise money with the giveaway for the Garmin and giving to a fantastic cause all at once! This hits close to home for me as well because my good friend, Tiffany, has battled lymphoma twice now, she is 25 and currently in remission. So thank you for all your hard work! Proud of you!"
