Hello everyone! My name is Jena Yuen and Welcome to my Team In Training home page!

This photo was taken May 11, 2013 with my Team in Training group. We run together every Saturday at 7am at various locations. (I'm in the center in gray with the white cap)

I'm training to participate in an endurance event with Ernst & Young's Chicago office as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). I just started working with Ernst & Young in January and I received an email about the LLS and Team in Training. I thought to myself, "Hey, this is a great opportunity to make new friends, meet my colleagues, and other people from different professions - plus it's for an important cause!" I've never ran in a Half Marathon before; therefore, this will certainly be a challenging and rewarding experience for me; therefore, I'm asking for your support along the way!

I'm asking you to help by donating to my fundraising campaign. I will be running in the 17th Annual Chicago Half Marathon on September 8, 2013.

My goal is to reach $1,000.

Each donation helps accelerate finding a cure for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Nearly 958,000 Americans are battling these blood cancers. I am hoping that my participation in Team In Training will help bring them hope and support.

I have a mission-to help find cures and more effective treatments for blood cancers. To accomplish that mission, I’m participating in a sports endurance event as a member of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. Like the other members of TNT, I will be raising funds to help find cures and better treatments for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. I’m improving the quality of my life by participating and with your support, I can help improve the quality of life for patients and their families as well.

Please make a donation in support of my efforts with Team In Training and help advance the research for cures.

On behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, thank you very much for your support. I greatly appreciate your generosity.

Most sincerely,

Jena Yuen
