UPDATE: I am 1/3 of the way to my fundraising goal! Thank you! If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, please consider donating today.

Everyone seems to have those lists - "What I want to do before I turn ... " - and this is one of mine. I want to run a marathon. And I want to help someone in the process.

I joined Team in Training and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to run the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon in October. This will be my first marathon.

I will be running in honor of a local patient - a young boy from Ogden with acute lymphocytic leukemia. The fundraising minimum through Team in Training is $1400. I am making my personal goal at least $1500.

Please visit the diary page to read about my training adventures! If you would like to sponsor me, donations can be made at my Personal Page at the Team In Training site

*Donations via PayPal on my Donate page can also be made, but they do deduct a fee from your donation.

Thank you for your continued support!
