We Are Racing to Save Lives!!


Welcome to my Team In Training home page! I'm training to participate in the San Diego Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training (Team Shrinking Jeans!). All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help fight leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives - and to improve the lives of the people battling these diseases. 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!


My team is working hard on this - but we can't do it alone! Please consider making a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. EVERY DOLLAR makes a difference in someone's life - maybe someone you know!


My teammates and I are running in honor and memory of many people! One is Dr. Curtis Barefoot, my undergraduate advisor when I was a student in mathematics at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Dr. Barefoot was a great advisor, and a great instructor, and lost his battle with Lymphoma in 2004.


I run in Honor of Shelby Batley. Shelby was diagnosed at age 4 with Acute Lymphatic Leukemia and spent nearly 3 years undergoing chemotherapy. She is currently cancer free, but the effects of her treatments still affect her daily life.
