Team in Training

Yesterday Sarah and I went to sign up for Team in Training, which for those of you who do not know is an organization that raises money for the leukemia and lymphoma societies across the United States. Through running, cycling, and triathlon events, participants use these venues to train and at the same time raise money for research, testing, and treatment for these life changing illnesses.

I shall let Sarah talk about what she is doing, but I am running in the WhiteRock Marathon (yes the full 26.2 miles), on December 14th, 2008 and the El Tour de Tucson century ride on November the 22nd. These two events will be challenging in there own right, but the rewards that will come from it will make every training event worth going to and every benchmark something to strive for.

Team in Training has provided us websites so that we can put up pictures and chart our progress both training and fund raising/donation wise.

My goal is to finish both events and to raise at least $6000, so that a life might be bettered by my decision to participate in Team in Training. Any donation, even a $1, will be appreciated from the bottom of my heart. Please let everyone you know what we are doing so that we can be a small part in helping to find a cure for leukemia and lymphoma. I look forward to keeping everyone updated as we go along.

Thanks!

Gordon
