Flora's Fundraising Page

Racing for a cure!

Welcome to the fourth installment of my Team in Training home page!

Three years ago when I joined Team in Training to do the Honolulu Marathon, I had no idea that I would be where I am today: commited to a fourth season of training for an endurance event with Team in Training, and raising much needed funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Team in Training has helped me start and continue a healthy lifestyle, all in honor of a cause much greater than myself.

In the mean time, LLS is still actively helping families impacted by blood cancers by providing counseling and subsidizing costly travel and treatments, and first and foremost funding the valuable research that has raised cancer survival rates dramatically in the past few decades. One day cancer will be a thing of the past, and your tax-deductable donation will help make that possible.

This season I am training for the Vienna City Half Marathon on April 19, 2009, followed by the BMO Vancouver Marathon on May 3, 2009. A donation of $1/mile would be only $39.30!

As always, to make sure that TNT and LLS can meet their goal of at least 75% of all funds going to their mission, I have contributed at least 25% of my fundraising goal so that 100% of your donation will fund the Society's mission. LLS and TNT are 501 (c) (3) charities and most likely eligible for company match (hint, hint!).

Thanks again for your continued support!
