WELCOME TO MY TEAM IN TRAINING (TNT) HOME PAGE!

 

I signed up for the 2015 Walt Disney World Marathon - my first full at age 50.  You know I LOVE having fun when I race, but this one has me scared. NEVER done this distance and I am questioning "Why did I sign up again?"

I realized in signing up for something that will challenge me in a way I have never known, that I will need support and immediately thought of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training; a supportive running community which raises money for research in the cure of blood cancers.  This race will be about something bigger than me challenging myself, I am training with LLS TNT to try to help find a cure.  

How serious is blood cancer? Every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every 10 minutes, someone dies.  I am training and fundraising  with TNT to do my part in helping find a cure and new treatments for blood cancers like leukemia -- the No. 1 disease killer of children -- lymphoma and myeloma.

I know my race and training will be a challenge, but it will be NOTHING compared the challenges faced by families fighting cancer.  Families like my cousin Maryann, diagnosed at age of 8 with Leukemia.  While the outlook was unknown and scary for Maryann and her family back in the 70's when diagnosed, her type of Leukemia is now one of the most treatable with a very high recovery rate.  Without research, this type of diagnosis with an optimistic prognosis would not have been possible.

No parent should have to watch their child - no matter what age, fight for their life.  Cancer is such a horrible diganosis, no one should have to endure the treatments cancer patients face.  No mother should have to go take a shower with the sole purpose of a place cry in privacy away from her kids, while dealing with fear, sadness, helplessness and the pain in watching their child suffer.
 
THAT is why I decided to try to make a difference and signed up with TNT. 

It takes more than one person to make up a team and that’s why I’m asking you to donate to my TNT fundraising page for TNT!

By participating as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) TNT, I am raising funds to help find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients.

Your donation will help fund treatments that save lives every day; like immnuotherapies that use a person’s own immune system to kill cancer. You may not know it, but every single donation helps save a life with breakthrough therapies such as these.

Patients need these cures and they need your support.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help get us all closer to a world without blood cancers.

Thank you!

Julie

"Thank you for fundraising for the LLS! My youngest son, Benjamin (age almost 8!), is a survivor of a very rare form of lymphoma: Burkitt's Lymphoma. Because of research we have our son. I raised $4000 for LLS earlier this year and ran my 1st 1/2 marathon as a "princess" at Disney's Princess Half Marathon. It was so rewarding on many levels. I was the inspirational speaker at the TNT dinner the night before the 1/2 marathon and Benjamin even got up and said thank you to everyone. Regardless of anyone's motives - your decision to fundraise SAVES LIVES. Thank you and GO TEAM!"
