Team In Training - marathon - seriously

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16

Why am I running a marathon?


I am training to participate in an endurance event as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training. On Monday, October 31st, I will join hundreds of others in the fight against cancer. I will be running a marathon (26.2 miles) as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training (TNT) program. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I'm completing this marathon in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

“How can I help?” you must be asking yourself. Pray for me, encourage me, and sponsor me! I know that you are probably asked to give to numerous charities, but I am urging you to contribute to this charity this year. Any amount, large or small is appreciated and will help stop Leukemia. Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance the Society's mission.
I hope you'll visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!
