At it again...

As many of you know, in the past 2 years I have completed 3 marathons and a ½ marathon with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training (TNT). Not only have I reached the finish line in each of these races, I have raised nearly $9000 for patient services and supporting cancer research! But it’s not enough. So, I’m back at it training with TNT for a 4th time!! This time I am training for the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC on October 25th.

Why I’m doing it:
I am running in honor & memory of my Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom passed away in September 2006 after a 9-month battle with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He was a loving uncle, brother, cousin and friend-full of laughter and humor. He, like all individuals who have or are battling blood cancers, are the real heroes on our team, and a constant inspiration to me. With this marathon and all the training that goes into it, I will continue to fight his battle against lymphoma in the hopes that other patients and their families will win there battle against cancer.

How you can help:
In addition to running in honor of my Uncle Tom, I invite you to allow me to run in honor of your loved ones that have battled cancer. I will wear the names of your honorees (and pictures) during my race as motivation through the miles.
I am reaching out to you to ask for your support. My goal is to raise $3000 in an effort to further the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s mission to achieve a 100% cure rate for all blood cancers. The money that I, and my teammates, raise will be used toward advancing scientific research, patient services and education.
