Please help me reach my goal of raising $3600 for the Lukemia and Lymphona Society:

Without a doubt, I am getting ready for the biggest challenge of my life. On October 21, 2007, I will be running a half-marathon in San Francisco, CA (yes the town of hills)! That’s 13.1 miles, and yes all at once. Luckily, I am not doing this on my own. I have joined the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program. Through this program, I have great coaches, mentors and teammates whose support will help me cross the finish line.

More importantly even than my physical commitment to the program is my commitment to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in its effort to battle Leukemia and related cancers. These diseases strike some 107,000 Americans each year and acute leukemia is the number one cause of death of children under the age of 15. Research is the key to finding a cure, and funding for this research is essential. I have set a personal goal to raise $3600 toward this effort. As I run the 13.1 mile half-marathon, you will be with me in spirit, and your sponsorship will inspire me to walk stronger and faster to the finish line. A donation of two dollars per mile is suggested, but whatever you can do to contribute matters…it all adds up! With over 75% of your donation going directly to research, you truly can make a difference. Thank you so much for your support and generosity!
