Hello Game Changers!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. This is my first season with Team in Training and I am so excited to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon in DC and raise money for the lifesaving mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. For many years, I was just a runner- without a purpose, without a cause. I was tired of reaping only personal gain from my efforts, my soul craved a higher calling. I am determined to use my gift for something more. The time is now.
Someday is today. Cancer ends with me.
What is the Leukemia & Lymohoma Society?
LLS's is the largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancers. Their mission: to cure luekemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma. The funds raised help researchers fulfill the mission and find more effective treatments. LLS is dedicated to improving the quality of life for patients and their families, not simply in the cure but through the entire process.
Why Do I Run?
I have been inspired by the stories of so many who are battling a cancer, currently without a cure. They lead fulfilling lives of peace and determination despite a dreary diagnosis. Their stories of laughter, music, tears, and dancing encourage me to use every breathe as a blessing. Some I have met, other's stories overwhelm my newfeed on Facebook, and EACH individual is an example of strength and perserverance.
So to honor them I run, because it's what I have to offer.
I run, because it's is my duty in this race towards a cure.
Why Team In Training and LLS?
Finding the cure to blood cancers can ultimately help us understand the formations and cures of other cancers. Blood is the lifeflow of most cancers- I believe victory over blood cancer is the turning point in the war against all cancers. If we win the blood cancer battle, we will win this war!
