Racing to Save Lives


Welcome to our Team In Training home page!

We joined with Team In Training (TNT) so we could raise funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives.


Our race, the New Balance Half Iron Man in Victoria, BC, will take place on June 21, 2009. It is comprised of a 1.2 mile open water swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13-mile run. We'll be training for nine full months, six days a week in order to cross that finish line!


We are doing so in honor of our good friend, Jonelle Horn, who is in remission. You can check out her story by visiting our blog at www.ironmanbuzz.com. We met Jonelle through April's participation with TNT in 2008. Jonelle's story, along with many, many others like hers, compel us to do what we can to help find a cure for cancer.


Team In Training is a very cool organization. It's set up so that we are given the opportunity to strengthen ourselves, both mind and body, by training for and competing in a race of endurance, mirroring the journey that all those afflicted by and treated for cancer must endure.


The Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS) has done incredible work in alleviating the suffering. LLS was responsible for Jonelle's shorter and more successful chemotherapy regimen (called "Stanford 4"). It's likely that Jonelle will live a long and healthy life because of it. LLS is also a touchstone for patients and their families during their incredibly long, painful and sometimes excruciatingly frustrating journey fighting blood cancer. LLS provides guidance, financial assistance, home care, and support for the caregivers.


If you would like to support our efforts, we would greatly appreciate your generous donation to LLS. You can check back here or on our blog for updates and progress made toward our goal. Thanks for your support!
