Team Nancy: Six Sisters Striding for a Cure!

The miracle isn't that we finished. The miracle is we had the courage to start! John Bingham
Oct 24, 2010 by Tam Driscoll



Miracles do happen! The "Dream Team" crossed the finish line at the Nike Women's Marathon and Half Marathon to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on Sunday, October 17. Team Nancy. Sisters Debbie, Barbie, Kathy, Pam, Tam and Tray supported by brother Dan, Mama Joyce, Cousin Jill and Sarah finish with smiles on our face and tears in our eyes.


Friday Night: Nike VIP Fundraiser Party at Sir Francis Drake Hotel where Team Nancy celebrated in style. Sister Tam and Team Nancy took home the #2 Top Fundraiser Prize and dedicated the beautiful lead Tiffany bowl to Mama Joyce; Matriarch of Team Nancy.


Saturday morning: Breakfast at Tiffany's where Team Nancy celebrated with Olympians Joan Benoit Samuelson, Nick Symmonds and Shannon Rowbury. Mama Driscoll got things started by buying some beautiful bling!


Saturday afternoon; lunch at the Ferry Building with all the siblings while Mama Joyce and Jill visited family in Half Moon Bay


Saturday evening: Inspiration Dinner at Moscone Center in downtown SFO. All TNT participants were greeted with a huge procession that lasted miles (or seemed like it) filled with loud bells, whistles and signs that read: "Thank you I'm alive because of you!"

Sister Tam was keynote speaker to a crowd of over 8,000. Team Nancy received a standing ovation to a deafening crowd! Relief and excitment filled Tam's shoes...


Sunday morning: O'Dark Thirty...Team Nancy goes to the start line with Geoff, Devan, Dan and Jill. We cover the 13.1 miles with shouts of joy, laughter, screams of thanks and tears of sadness combined with overwhelming joy on what Team Nancy has accomplished.


Sunday night: Team Nancy and many other Team In Training participants danced part of the evening away with beads of sweat streaming down our face and legs ready to race again!


Monday: Team Nancy flys the skys back to respective states and is still riding high!


We couldn't have done it without all the love and support showered on Team Nancy. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts!


With Faith, Hope and Love, we are:


Team Nancy: Debbie, Barbie, Kathy, Pam, Tam and Tracey for sister Nancy

anchored by all of you!




Each step we take TOGETHER gets us closer to a cure!

We are fighting for those who can't,

with Faith, Love and Hope!


Sister Nancy and for YOU...


In Loving Memory of Nancy Driscoll

October 14, 1952 - June 22, 2009


We miss you Nan!

    "Team Nancy - I am one of 4 sisters, also running in the Nike Women's Marathon for TNT, in memory of my sister Katharine, who passed away on Oct. 17th in 2008, at the age of 21, from leukemia. I cannot wait to meet you all, and admire so very much your determination and goal. Good luck with all the rest of your fundraising and training! And see you in October! To sisters, sincerely, Susannah Eckman"
