And all those who are heroes among us!
I'm training to for a Half Ironman triathlon (1.2 mile swim / 56 mile bike / 13.1 mile run) as a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training program, and I need your help!
On Sunday, June 15, 2014, I will be running, biking and swimming around Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia and the William & Mary University campus to bring awareness and raise valuable funds in the fight against blood cancers.
I have been involved with Team in Training for the past six years, competing in endurance events across the country. With my friends' and family's love and support, I have completed four triathlons, one-century ride, and one marathon, while also raising over $100,000 to help find a cure. But the fight is not over, and more needs to be done.
As many of you know, I first became involved with LLS's Team in Training when my mom, Mary Ellen, was diagnosed with leukemia back in 2008. I wanted to help the cause and help find a cure for the disease she carried with her. She fought her battle bravely and with dignity each day of her life, but this insidious disease was too much for her. She left us just a short time ago, on September 24, 2010. She was an amazing woman. For those of you never had the privilege of knowing her, you can read her beautiful obituary here: http://bit.ly/mebrandell
In addition to raising awareness and funds for LLS in memory of my mom, I am competing in the race in honor of all individuals who are survivors of blood cancers. One of those individuals is my boss, Congressman Dave Camp, who successfully fought his battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2012 and his is doing great now.
I am also racing in memory of those who have passed from us too soon, like Marguerite O'Connell who left in 2011 -- an amazing woman who was the mother of my dear friends.
Do you have someone in your life who left us too soon? Or someone who is still with us but faced these terrible blood cancers? Let me know their names, and I will add them to my honored teammate list.
While leukemia took my mom too soon from me, I am working to keep that from happening to others. Please help me by making a generous donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. I greatly appreciate any support you can give. Just hit the "DONATE NOW" button on the right side of the page.
I will keep you posted on my progress as I train for the race. It is not going to be easy. But with your support and prayers, I know I will have another successful year.
Thanks for your support!
- Jim
