It's been said by some very wise people* that the couple that runs, fundraises, and saves lives together, stays together. Well, as we dive head-first into life as a married couple, YOU have the opportunity to help us prove that adage--we'll do all the running, you offer support, and together we'll save lives!
In 2004, Kathleen completed her first marathon with Team in Training. Several years, countless miles, and over $20,000 donated to the cause later, she met Jon. In April 2013, Jon completed his first marathon with Team in Training, and raised over $4,000 to fight blood cancers. Today we are looking forward to completing our first Team in Training event together at the Nike Women's Half Marathon (yes, men can run it too) on October 20, 2013.
In addition to running, we have committed to raise $5,900 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. These funds will help find cures and more effective treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, as well as improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
As we plan for our wedding and head to the "start line" together, we would prefer our friends and family to donate to our Team in Training efforts in lieu of gifts. We have more than we need in our lives and are a part of something bigger here. We look forward to a long life together and would so much rather have a cure for cancer than another toaster.
If you choose to donate, we thank you in advance for your generosity and love!
*Okay, okay, we are the very wise people who said that.
