Team in Training

I made the commitment and joined Team in Training on Wednesday. They train me for an endurance race (I picked the Rock N Roll Seattle Marathon, 26.2 miles!) and I raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My goal is to raise $6000 before June. I know that I can do this.

To donate, go to http://pages.teamintraining.org/cfl/rnrseatl09/sodle

It's 100% tax deductable and 75% goes DIRECTLY to the cause.

I am so excited about this. My paternal grandpa had a brain tumor, paternal grandma had breast cancer, maternal grandma has skin cancer, and maternal grandpa is continuously battling bladder cancer. The big C is something that effects so many people. If you don't know somebody that has cancer, I can guarantee that someone you know knows somebody that does. Let's help find a cure together!

I appreciate your support--whether it's financial or moral.

I am impressed that you've decided to do a full marathon even before you've completed the 1/2. Running has really caught on for you!

I am also impressed that youve decided to pair it with a cause, congratulations!
