WHY I'M RUNNING & FUNDRAISING!
By participating as part of Team in Training (TNT), I am raising funds to help find cures and ensure access to treatments for blood cancer patients with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS).
I first heard about TNT from my mom, who ran a marathon through the program in 2005. Both of her parents [my grandparents] had recently passed away from cancer at the time, and she trained hard while raising money for LLS. Growing up, she always told me how running the marathon and raising money for the foundation with Team in Training is one of her best life accomplishments. Other than my grandparents, I have had several family members, and family members of friends, endure the hardships of different types of blood cancer. I chose to sign up for the Big Sur marathon through Team in Training as a challenge to push myself to contribute to furthering cancer research findings & to push myself physically! |
