Racing to Save Lives



Welcome to my Team In Training home page.



I'm training to participate in an endurance event 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. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!



If you are reading this I will comfortably deduce 2 things:



1. You can read



2. You speak English



But through an only slightly less comfortable deduction I can know that you, yes you, are a good person. How good? Well thats up to you.



I’m doing a triathlon. TNT is training me so that I can finish. What do they ask in return? That I raise 5800$ by March for the Lymphoma Society.



As you can imagine to raise that much money seems insurmountable to me right now, that my total raised is exactly [not much].



Why should you donate? Here is why:



any$ - I will send you a thank you note, and you’ll be on the website as a donor



10$ - I will go to your place and thank you personally.



50$ - I will help you during your next move, also you get a blog post dedicated to you. A long and very flattering blog post.



100$ - I will grease-ink your name to my bald head during the event. PIctures will be taken



500$ - You get to decide on something stupid I do during a transition phase (between bike and run and swim and bike)



1000$ - I dunno what I’ll do, but you’ll like it.



Every level also receives the rewards from the lower levels. I have some other ideas to, like holding a hoe-down with a live band, or holding a raffle or date auction. So stay tuned.
